300 held in France after anti-Nato protests
French police detained at least 300 anti-NATO demonstrators after violent clashes ahead of a two-day summit to mark the alliance’s 65th anniversary.
A total of 107 people were still being held today after riot police used tear gas and rubber bullets to force hundreds of demonstrators off the streets of Strasbourg last night and back into a tent camp on the edge of the city. Under French law they can be held for up to 48 hours before being formally charged.
