Paris : Thousands of people staged protests against the currently prepared security bill in several cities across France. As per reports, the cities in France witnessed massive demonstration despite the coronavirus restrictions imposed in the country. The protesters chanted slogans against the new law and also witnessed some acts of violence and the police fired tear gas. The protesters see that the bill aims to undermine the freedom of press, media and expression. The Article 24 of the new law stipulates a one year prison sentence and a fine of 45000 euros for broadcasting pictures of police and gendarmes motivated  by bad faiths. But the government affirmed that this article aims at protecting those who are exposed to hate campaigns and calls of killing on social networks.
