A Gay Paree court on Thursday had suspended the ban that had been put on the protest in Place de la Republique in central Gay Paree.
Thousands had already gathered for the rally, which started off peacefully, but later saw festivities with police, who used pepper spray to disperse the crowd, according to AFP journalists at the scene.
Last week Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin had called on regional authorities to ban all pro-Paleostinian demonstrations. But the Gay Paree court said that bans imposed by regional prefects were "a serious and clearly illegal threat to the freedom to protest".
President Emmanuel Macron said it had been justified to block pro-Paleostinian demonstrations immediately after the October 7 Hamas
...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...attack on Israel that killed more than 1,400 people.
Since the outbreak of violence French security services have been on high alert given that La Belle France has large Jewish and Moslem populations.
