MORE than 200 people had been arrested and four injured in Paris on Monday during an unauthorised protest by Tamils that turned violent, a French police spokesman said.
Hundreds of demonstrators blocked an intersection in Central Paris, throwing bottles at passing buses as they demanded that Sri Lanka end its military assault on the LTTE.
"French people, react", "Sarkozy, help us" chanted about 500 demonstrators who had gathered near the Gare du Nord train station.
Police said the demonstrators might be charged with belonging to an "armed gathering" as the bottles they threw could be considered weapons. (Courtesy : The Island) ( Photo Courtesy : Daily Mirror )
