Paris, December 2 (RHC)-- France has extended a ban on public demonstrations, established in the wake of the November 13th. The prohibition was scheduled to end Tuesday, but police extended it specifically for central Paris and for Le Bourget, where COP 21 is being held. The ban will last until December 13th, two days after the end of the climate conference.
Meanwhile, a protester arrested at Sunday’s protest at Place de la République has been sentenced to three months in jail for throwing a glass bottle which hit a police officer. A second protester has been fined more than $1,000 for refusing to have her fingerprints taken at Sunday’s protest.
