France: anti-terrorism measures against demonstrators late October 2026

On the eve of the mobilizations of October 31 and November 1, 2026, the Interior Ministry multiplied individual administrative control and surveillance measures, targeting about 75 people. Activists from Belfort, Lot, Nord, Vienne and Marseille testified to having been placed under house arrest or banned from demonstrating, sometimes under terrorism prevention. On November 3, the Poitiers administrative court lifted the ban targeting three environmental activists from Vienne. On November 4, the CGT, Unef and the Human Rights League filed an appeal against these infringements on the right to demonstrate, while unions, magistrates and NGOs denounced "authoritarian" measures. On November 5, activists placed under house arrest in Belfort rejoined the procession during a mobilization.
