Authorities said 150 people were arrested overnight after violent demonstrations erupted for a second night in a row, with protesters burning rubbish and clashing with security forces over the fatal police shooting of a teenager. French President Emmanuel Macron has convened crisis talks for Thursday morning.
The 17-year-old victim, identified only as Nahel M., was shot in the chest at point-blank range on Tuesday morning in an incident that has reignited debate in France about police tactics, which have long been criticised by rights groups over the treatment of ethnic minorities in the low-income suburbs.
