Paris, June 4 (RHC)-- Thousands of people in cities across France defied coronavirus restrictions against mass gatherings and took to the streets Tuesday for antiracist protests. 

In Paris, 20,000 people gathered peacefully demanding an end to police brutality, and paying homage to Adama Traoré, a Black man who died in police custody in 2016 after he was pinned down by an officer. 

Late in the day, police fired volleys of tear gas canisters into the crowds to clear the protests.
