Police are carrying out checks on the Paris ring road at the Porte de Saint-Cloud as convoys of protesters against vaccine passes inspired by similar protests in Ottawa begin to arrive in Paris with the aim of defying a prefectural ban on public demonstrations. IMAGES
"Guinea pig, slave, that's enough!": demonstrators shout their opposition to the health pass for the fourth weekend in a row. Several hundred departed from the bridge of Neuilly, in the suburbs of Paris, to march in protest at the propositions. IMAGES
Around 1,500 people march in Paris to demonstrate against vaccination and the health pass. One demonstrator's blouse reads "No to compulsory vaccination, freedom violated!", while another's placard reads "Macron, no to the health dictatorship". IMAGES
Police fire tear gas and block an exit path during a protest against police brutality and racism in central Paris. Organisers of the rally attempted to keep people calm and "not provoke them", even after tear gas cannisters were fired into the large crowd. IMAGES
Thousands of people gather in central Paris around Place de la République, protesting against racism and police violence. The mass rally was called by the family of Adama Traoré, a 24-year-old black man who was killed in 2016 while in police custody. Many of the demonstrators are calling for "justice and truth" in the case. However, there is also growing anger among law enforcement over the accusations of racism. President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled to address the issue in a speech to the nation on Sunday. (COMPLETE VIDI1TD986_EN, VIDI1TD8JE_EN, VIDI1TD7C3_EN) IMAGES
