France Arrests 2,700 Amid Recent Unrest

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, French Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin has announced that 2,700 people have been arrested since Saturday in connection with the recent disturbances in the country. Darmanin stated that more than a thousand of the detainees have appeared before the court, and 217 individuals have been sentenced to prison.

These unrests erupted following nationwide protests against the rising cost of living and issues within the French education system. In several cities, the protests escalated into looting of shops, arson, and clashes with police. The government of President Emmanuel Macron has implemented security measures and limited curfews in certain areas to control the situation.
