Paris police use tear gas, water cannon against ‘yellow vest’ protesters
PARIS, Nov 24, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Security forces in Paris fired tear gas and water cannon Saturday to disperse protesters who tried to break through a police cordon on the Champs-Elysees, an AFP journalist said.
Several thousand demonstrators, wearing high-visibility yellow jackets, had gathered on the avenue as part of protests which began last Saturday against an increase in diesel tax.
