A new report from the International Federation for Human Rights and Ligue des droits de l’homme warns of rising police violence and fundamental rights restrictions in France, including arbitrary detentions, racial profiling, and surveillance. The report is based on 10 months of documentary and field research across the country and highlights a chilling effect on peaceful assembly and association, with increased hate crimes targeting marginalised groups. The report calls for urgent reforms to protect fundamental rights and ensure accountability for human rights violations.
