According to the police headquarters in Paris, contacted by Le Monde , the individuals concerned had been “identified for acts of violence at previous demonstrations” . And there “every reason to believe” that their presence at rallies “is to engage in violent actions’ says the decree of the prefecture handed to militants. Near activists explained to the World that none of the persons has yet been arrested during the protests.
- What does this stop?
According to the decree, signed on 14 May by Michel Cadot, the prefect of police in Paris, concerned activists are “banned from” Tuesday between 11 and 20 hours in the four districts of Paris involved in the parade (6 th 7 th 14 th and 15 th ). The order adds to the perimeter, from 18 hours to 7 am the next day, the Republic Square and the surrounding streets, where congregate, since late March, the movement of the members standing Night. To be effective, these orders must be hand-delivered by police officers, who are rendered on Sunday and Monday to the homes of militants involved
.
The text in question in particular relies on Article 5 of the law on state of emergency:
“the declaration of a state of emergency empowers the prefect (…) d prohibit the movement of people and vehicles in places and times fixed by decree; to establish, by decree, areas of protection or security where the presence of individuals is regulated; prohibit the stay in any part of the department to any person seeking to hinder in any way the action of the authorities. “

- How do the protesters?
a legislative arsenal that does not intimidate the anti-fascist activists. “If the prefect Cadot think we bring a blow to morale, it has done exactly the opposite . You want us to go out the door? We will return through the window … See you in the streets “, reacted activists of the AFA-Paris Suburbs on the collective’s website. He added: For a person prohibited demonstration and a hundred others take to the streets. “
- What is their recourse?
The collective defense group, which provides legal assistance to protesters arrested as part of the mobilization against the reform of the labor code and Night stand, said he was preparing a petition for fundamental liberties. This application seeks to challenge the decision of a public authority when it infringes one of its fundamental freedoms
.
The right to demonstrate is a human right defined the Declaration of human rights and citizen. But the establishment of the state of emergency following the attacks of 13 November allows you to override this right in the name of security and the maintenance of public order.
The Administrative Court of Paris will rule Tuesday, May 17 at 8 am on 45 ten prefectural orders, including one filed by Hosni Maati, the journalist’s lawyer, known by the nickname NnoMan. The prefecture has already announced Monday that “checks are underway” reports BuzzFeed.
