A firefighter extinguishes a burning car at the end of a commemoration march for a teenage driver shot dead by a policeman, in the Parisian suburb of Nanterre, on June 29th, 2023. Violent protests broke out in France in the early hours of June 29th as anger grows over the police killing of a teenager, with security forces arresting 150 people in the chaos that saw balaclava-clad protesters burning cars and setting off fireworks. Nahel M (17) was shot in the chest at point-blank range in Nanterre in the morning of June 27th, in an incident that has reignited debate in France about police tactics long criticised by rights groups over the treatment of people in low-income suburbs, particularly ethnic minorities.
