The French Interior Ministry put nationwide turnout at 410,000, including 110,000 in Paris, according to the Associated Press (AP), in a text republished by PBS NewsHour.
The Paris prosecutor’s office said 64 people had been arrested in connection with Saturday’s demonstration in the capital and 40 placed in police custody, including six minors. Near the march’s endpoint at Porte de Vincennes, some protesters threw projectiles while police fired volleys of tear gas and used water cannons to disperse people. Authorities had confined the capital’s march to the city’s southeastern edge, keeping protesters away from central neighborhoods.
