On the 5th local time in Paris, the French capital, protests against the'Comprehensive Security Act', which prohibited the distribution of photos of police officers on the Internet, were held again.
Thousands of young people, union officials, journalists, and human rights activists gathered in Paris that day, according to Reuters and AFP.
The march, which began in Porte de Rila, in eastern Paris, continued to Republique Square.
Like last weekend, the protests on the day were violent, leading to clashes with the police.
Participants held placards such as'France, the country of the police power' and'Repeal of the security law' and shouted out slogans such as "Macron, that's enough".
One protester told Reuters, "We are heading towards limiting increasingly important freedoms," and "this can never be justified."
Earlier, the protests held across France over the weekend attended an estimated 130,000 police officers and an estimated 500,000 organizers.
The fierce conflict between the two sides resulted in many injuries from the protesters as well as the police, and dozens of others were arrested.
Article 24 of the Security Act, promoted by the government, prohibits the posting of images containing information that can identify the face or identity of a police officer for the purpose of inflicting psychological or physical harm.
The government explained that it was a measure to ensure the safety of police officers who protect the French people, but some point out that it will violate the freedom of the press and weaken the check function of abuse of public power.
In particular, the public opinion surrounding the bill continues to deteriorate as videos of the police's recent excessive violence in the course of public affairs were released on the Internet.
Eventually, representatives of some opposition parties, including the French Ruling Party Advancement Republic (LREM), the Democratic Movement Party (MoDem), and the Action Party (Agir), held a press conference on the 30th of last month and announced that they would revise the problematic Article 24.
In addition to the complete deletion of Article 24, the protesters are calling for improvements to other controversial provisions.
The Security Law also contained legal grounds for police to use drones to photograph protests and assembly sites, while also using facial recognition.
