New Kurdish Rally in Paris: French Police used Tear Gas to disperse the Crowd as Clashes erupt

Kurdish demonstrators in Paris rioted and clashed with the police on the streets of Paris.

During the day, thousands of Kurds took to the Place de la République in Paris to protest a shooting that killed three Kurdish activists. They consider the incident a terrorist attack against the Kurdish community. The protesters believe that Turkey is behind the shooting and chant anti-Turkish slogans.

The rally started at the Place de la Republique in a second day of protest against what Paris Kurds consider as a Turkish-sponsored shooting attack against the community.

It started peacefully but escalated into assaults of cars and altercations among participants themselves, the Sputnik correspondent said.

The shooting took place on Friday near a Kurdish cultural center, leaving three Kurdish activists killed. The 69-year-old French shooter was detained and confessed that he had attacked the Kurdish community out of racial hatred. The French prosecutor's office launched a probe into intentional murder.

The incident prompted dozens of Paris-based Kurds to take to the streets on Friday. The rally escalated into clashes and left 12 police officers injured.
