In France, anti-terrorist measures target protesters ahead of October 31
As the demonstrations on October 31 and November 1, 2026 approach, the Ministry of the Interior has multiplied individual administrative control and surveillance measures targeting approximately 75 people. Environmental activists, a teacher from Marseille, and other participants in the mobilizations have been placed under house arrest or prevented from demonstrating; the Poitiers Administrative Court lifted the ban against three activists from Vienne. The CGT, UNEF, and the League of Human Rights have filed an appeal against these infringements on the right to demonstrate, while unions, magistrates, and NGOs have condemned authoritarian measures. On November 5, activists placed under house arrest in Belfort were able to attend a demonstration.
