The prefect of Paris police, Didier Lallement, asked that shops, bars and restaurants be closed on Saturday afternoon in Paris on the way to the demonstration for Adama Traore organized by the Justice committee for Adama. In a statement Friday, he recalled that due to the state of health emergency gatherings of more than 10 people were not allowed. However, to ward off possible overflows during this event which is not prohibited, he asked "shops, bars and restaurants located from the Place de la République to that of the Opera and in some adjacent streets to close Saturday afternoon. "
"They will have to put in place means of protection against damage and close the terraces and displays which will have to be emptied of any furniture that can serve as a projectile or weapon by destination," he added. The prefect also sent a requisition to the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, to secure public construction sites on the route of the procession.
