Five and six months suspended prison sentences were requested on Friday in Marseille against two police officers for violence against two young demonstrators. "The use of force is completely justified to disperse a crowd, but its use is disproportionate", said Sylvie Odier, deputy prosecutor at the Marseille judicial court.
On March 28, 2023, around 300 people demonstrated near Saint-Charles station, a parade punctuated by damage to street furniture, trash fires and the throwing of projectiles at the thirty or so mobilized police officers.
