Fresh protests against police violence planned in France

Seven years after Adama Traore, a young black man, died in police custody, his sister planned to lead a commemorative march north of Paris in Persan and Beaumont-sur-Oise.
Authorities banned the event however, citing a shortage of police to ensure public safety, a decision that was upheld Friday by the local administrative court.

Based on the "context of the riots that followed the death of 17-year-old Nahel" on June 27, the judges found the "extremely recent nature does not allow us to presume that any risk of disturbing public order has disappeared," the court said in a statement on Friday.
