Police used water cannons and tear gas against protesters while they marched against the so-called 'Global Security' bill in Paris on Saturday evening, as a day of sometimes violent demonstrations came to an end. Protesters held signs standing against the police with messages reading "Get ready because we won't let go of anything" and "We don't want your bullshit laws." On Monday the government announced that they would rewrite Article 24 of the law; the provision that restricts the filming of police officers, following weeks of protests. The law in its current form makes it illegal to disseminate images in which police officers can be personally identified, among other things. The draft bill has been heavily criticised by activists and journalists who say it violates freedom of the press, as well as UN humans rights experts who have said the bill runs afoul of international law. #LoiSecuriteGlobale #FranceProtests
