Police in France have detained more than 6,800 people since high school students began protesting in mid-September, according to figures from the French Ministry of Justice, as reported by the Ukrainian news outlet Ukrainska Pravda.
The ministry says 86% of those detained are minors. This means most of the people held by police during the protests are under the age of majority.
The source gives no information on the reasons for the protests, where they have taken place, the conditions of the detentions, or whether those detained have been charged. These questions remain open.
