Security
backlash
Protesters in Rennes demon-
strate against the French gov-
ernment's global security law
that would restrict sharing im-
ages of police.
Civil liberties groups and jour-
nalists are concerned that the
measure will stymie press free-
doms and allow police brutality
to go undiscovered and unpun-
ished.
The cause has gained fresh im-
petus in recent days after foot-
age emerged of French police
officers beating up a black man,
triggering a nationwide outcry.
