France is set to prolong existing curfew measures following a relatively quiet night across the country. The ongoing restrictions form a core part of a broader government strategy to reassert public order and regain control in the wake of the largest wave of riots seen in France in recent years.
Alongside the extended restrictions on movement, authorities are moving forward with swift legal action against those detained during the civil disturbances. Individuals who were arrested in connection with the widespread unrest are currently facing expedited trials as the justice system addresses the aftermath of the protests.
