Authorities in Paris have banned a pro-Palestinian demonstration planned for October 7, citing risks of public disorder, according to an announcement from the Paris police prefect.
The ban was issued at the request of France's interior minister, according to the prefect's statement, though further details on the specific grounds for the public disorder concerns were not provided.
The date of the planned demonstration coincides with the anniversary of the October 7 attacks, a period that has previously seen heightened tensions and security measures around demonstrations related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in France and other countries.
French authorities have periodically restricted demonstrations tied to the conflict in past years, citing public order concerns, a practice that has drawn both support from some officials and criticism from civil liberties advocates who argue such bans limit the right to protest.
