Mobilization of October 17: during the immediate appearances, the parade of the alleged authors of the looting before pressured judges

On October 20, individuals arrested during the riots on October 17 faced immediate trial in Paris, Lyon, and Marseille. The Paris court allocated extra rooms to handle the influx of cases, reflecting the urgency of the situation. Lawyers expressed concerns over the government's heavy-handed approach to protesters and criticized the justice minister for undermining judicial independence. Delays in proceedings raised the risk of procedural invalidity for the defendants.
