Paris State of Emergency

Click here if you wish to access this short introduction and 19:24 video directly from Medialien (France). 

The video (English translation) shows mostly activists who are commenting on the current "State of Emergency" declared by the French President Francois Hollande after the November 13 attacks across Paris which was recently extended. The main effect has been a clamp down on activist demonstrations of all kinds starting with the COP21 conference on Climate Change held in Paris in December.
A look back on the first months of the state of emergency in Paris: activists in custody, protests shut down, warrantless house arrests, and the COP21 strangled by anti-terrorist measures.
