Right to demonstrate: restrictions, court orders and protesters' appeals

On 5 November 2026 in Belfort, activists placed under house arrest on 31 October rejoined the procession of a demonstration. In the following days, several articles and actors denounced the use of 'Micas', measures inherited from the state of emergency, and the anti-terrorism arsenal against protesters, while the Ministry of the Interior detailed guidelines in response to riots. On 10 November, the Paris Administrative Court examined an appeal against anti-terrorism measures targeting left-wing activists, with the Ministry of the Interior not appearing; on 11 November, administrative justice ruled against these measures. Debates and appeals continued afterwards, notably in Franche-Comté, Haut-Rhin, Vienne where the court suspended the ban on masks and glasses, and in Sarthe where associations and trade unions questioned the prefect.
