On 30 April, the French government initiated dissolution procedures against three associations: La Jeune Garde (an antifascist association), Urgence Palestine (a Palestine solidarity group), and Lyon Populaire (a far-right group). The procedures continue a worrying trend of attacks against civil society and dissent. Urgence Palestine announced it will contest the dissolution decree in administrative court through an emergency référé-liberté procedure as soon as the decree is published.
