France Imposes Curfew on Minors in Several Cities After Student Protests
After schoolchildren's protests in Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux and other French cities, a curfew for minors has been introduced in designated districts. The headline of Ukrainian outlet Pravda links the decision to vandalism during the protests.
France has introduced a curfew for minors in designated districts of several major cities, including Marseille, Lyon and Bordeaux, following protests by schoolchildren. The report comes from the Ukrainian news outlet Pravda.
The curfew applies to people under 18 and covers only the districts chosen by the authorities, not the whole country. Under such a restriction, minors may not be outside their homes during the set hours in those areas.
Pravda's headline states that the decision was prompted by vandalism that occurred during the protests. The source does not specify what the protests were about, how extensive the damage was, how long the curfew will remain in force or which districts are affected. It also does not give the curfew hours or name the authorities that imposed it.
The report is brief, and no further details about the situation in the French cities are available yet.
