The Paris police prefecture extended the night-time curfew in the area around Place de la République and Châtelet–Les Halles until Monday 26 October, Le Parisien reported, as cited by Kassataya. The measure bans access to these areas from 11pm to 6am.
The central paved area of Place de la République is also closed. The prefecture justified the restrictions by citing violence that occurred on the fringes of the mobilisation on 17 October and during the following day. A ban on gatherings and demonstrations in several areas, particularly around government buildings, remains in force until 6am on Friday 23 October.
On Wednesday, the Paris administrative court ordered the prefect to publish the orders governing the curfew at least 12 hours before they came into force. On 20 October, an earlier curfew around République and Les Halles had already been announced.
