On November 13, assailants struck at least six different venues in and around Paris, leaving 130 people dead and over 350 others injured. France introduced the state of emergency following the horrendous assaults, which were claimed by the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group.
However, many in France’s legal system have expressed worries about the abuse of the new measures adopted under the state of emergency, including empowering the police to keep people in their homes without trial, searching houses without judicial approval and blocking suspicious websites.
The measures also include a ban on public demonstrations and allow authorities to dissolve groups inciting any acts that seriously affect public order in France.
