As some demonstrators left the square they threw projectiles at police who responded with tear gas. Skirmishes continued for around two hours before the protestors dispersed.
Police arrested a 69-year-old man who the authorities said had recently been freed from detention while awaiting trial for a saber attack on a migrant camp in Paris a year ago. After a gathering on Friday afternoon that had also led to clashes with police, the Kurdish democratic council in France organized the demonstration at Republic Square on Saturday.
“We are not being protected at all. In 10 years, six Kurdish activists have been killed in the heart of Paris in broad daylight,” Berivan Firat, a spokesperson for the CDK-F, told BFM TV at the demonstration.She said the event had soured after some protestors were provoked by people making pro-Turkish gestures in a passing vehicle.
