PARIS - French police on Sunday used tear gas and employed anti-riot tactics to prevent hundreds of people protesting in Paris from marching on Teheran's embassy, AFP reporters and eyewitnesses said.
But police in full anti-riot armour, backed by a line of vans blocked the path of the protesters as they sought to approach the Iranian embassy a short distance away."I don't feel good, it was catastrophic," said one protester, who asked not to be named, recovering from the effects of the tear gas. "Police used tear gas to disperse Iranian protesters in Paris in an effort to protect the Islamic Republic embassy. Meanwhile, @EmmanuelMacron shook hands with the murderous president of Iran," tweeted the US-based Iranian women's rights activist Masih Alinejad.
