After Quiet Night, France Imposes Nightly Curfews ‘for as Long as Necessary’ in Paris
- Authorities imposed night curfews in Paris and Lyon on Tuesday following destructive rioting that began in high schools in September and exploded on October 17. Restrictions run from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. in Place de la République and Les Halles, remaining in place "as long as necessary."
- Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu requested "partial" and "localised" curfews to restore order after small groups set fire to property and looted businesses across major French cities. The unrest aimed at the government, not visitors, according to officials.
- French law enforcement arrested roughly 2,400 individuals since Saturday, with more than 800 sent before prosecutors. As of Tuesday at noon, 149 people were jailed nationwide, and Justice Ministry officials pledged an "extremely firm" response regarding property crimes.
- Lecornu promised a "massive" security operation for Saturday's protests, while the NFL confirmed the Pittsburgh Steelers at New Orleans Saints game on October 25 will proceed at the Stade de France with heightened security measures.
- Student groups plan protests for October 22 and 24, while major unions called for a nationwide strike and SNCF rail stoppage on November 5. Travelers should keep train tickets flexible for the strike day.
