TEHRAN, Dec. 13 (MNA) – Protesters gathering in the French capital's city centre were confronted by riot police and trucks which attempted to disperse the crowd by firing water at the demonstrators.

Water cannons were deployed on demonstrators in Paris on Saturday during another anti-security bill protest around Place de la Republique, according to Ruptly.

Thousands of people continued taking to the streets of Paris throughout the day despite the government's announcement that it would rewrite Article 24 of the law; the provision that restricts the filming of police officers, after weeks of protests.
