WATCH: Anti-Muslim Demonstrators Defy Blanket Ban On Public Protest In Corsica
Twitter
Tensions are rising on the Mediterranean Island of Corsica, a province of France, where authorities have banned all public protest after a series of anti-Muslim demonstrations were triggered by attacks on police and Firemen in a primarily Muslim neighbourhood.
The unrest comes little more that a week after the “For Corsica” nationalistic coalition of parties swept to power in the Island’s local elections.
On Friday, a crowd of 600 gathered by a fire station in a show of support with the authorities, after two firefighters and a police officer were “ambushed” by “several hooded youths” in the low-income, primarily Arab, Jardins de l’Empereur housing estate in the capital of Ajaccio.
