A slate of detentions carried out on December 12 during a Paris protest by tens of thousands of people against France s controversial security bill were arbitrary , Amnesty International France said on Monday.
Out of 142 people who were arrested, including 124 who were taken into custody, nearly 80 per cent faced no charges in the end , a study by the French branch of the rights watchdog concluded.
A similar proportion of detainees to charges laid was seen in the yellow vest movement that peaked in late 2018 and early 2019, according to Paris prosecutor Remy Heitz.
AIF, which joined an umbrella group opposed to the security bill, said it had legitimate concerns over the possibility that there were arbitrary arrests and other violations of human rights .
