Paris police said the protest aimed at “blocking the capital” from Friday through Monday is banned due to “risks of trouble to public order,” the Associated Press reported.
Protesters who block traffic can get two years in prison, a fine greater than $5,000 and a suspended driver’s license, the police said in a statement.
