"It is considered normal in Paris for the police to beat up their own children. What about the concerns and human rights issues at the Elysee Palace? I don’t hear a peep from [top EU diplomat] Kaja Kallas or the other inhabitants of the 'beautiful garden.' Speak up," Zakharova said on Telegram. High school students in France have been protesting against overloaded schedules and teacher shortages. Police have used tear gas and stun grenades to quell the protests in Paris, Marseille, Toulouse, Lyon, Nantes and Rennes. More than 6,000 people, most of them minors, have been detained.
