Defender of Rights seized

Yellow Vests arrested Wednesday in Paris on the sidelines of the arrest of Eric Drouet , asked the Defender of Rights to open an investigation into these “attacks on freedom” intended according to them to “gag” the challenge, learned AFP Saturday with their lawyers. These people were arrested Wednesday evening as they went to the Place de la Concorde, in response to the call for an “action” launched by Eric Drouet a few hours earlier on social networks. The latter was arrested around 9 pm for “organizing an event without prior declaration”.
