Protest: More than 100 people have been arrested in the ongoing protests across France, says minister

More than 100 people have been arrested in ongoing protests across France, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Twitter.

He said police were instructed to intervene systematically and expressed support for the police officers and firefighters who are doing a courageous job.

Video from Agence France-Presse shows fires being set on the streets of the French cities of Nanterre and Lille on Thursday as protests continue following the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old in Nanterre.

Broken glass could be seen on the streets of Lille, while police and emergency services vehicles were seen driving down the streets, and police in riot gear running were seen as well.

A car was also seen set ablaze with firefighters working to extinguish the burning fire.

The video also showed police in riot gear walking the streets of Nanterre and a building with billows of smoke was seen, with firetrucks and firefighters surrounding it.

Elsewhere in the city, burning debris was seen on the street, as well as a wall on which “Vengeance pour Nahel” appeared to be spray painted, which translates to “Revenge for Nahel,” referring to the teenager who was fatally shot earlier this week.
