Police stand by as material explodes in the Cite Pablo Picasso area of Nanterre, north-west of Paris early June 30, 2023, as protests continue across France in the aftermath of the killing by a policeman of a teenage driver in the Parisian suburb of Nanterre. Violent protests broke out in France in the early hours of June 29, as anger grows over the police killing of a teenager, with security forces arresting 150 people in the chaos that saw balaclava-clad protesters burning cars and setting off fireworks. Nahel M., 17, was shot in the chest at point-blank range in Nanterre in the morning of June 27, 2023, in an incident that has reignited debate in France about police tactics long criticised by rights groups over the treatment of people in low-income suburbs, particularly ethnic minorities.
