France Temporarily Bans Sale of Fireworks Used Against Police Until November 27
The French government has temporarily banned the sale and use of certain pyrotechnic devices that have frequently been used against police officers during riots and public disturbances. The decision has been published in the Official Journal of the French Republic, and the restrictions apply nationwide until November 27, inclusive.
The ban covers the sale and use of several types of pyrotechnic products, including firecrackers, fireworks rockets, pyrotechnic batteries, Roman candles and mortar-style fireworks. The measure targets the use of such devices as tools for attacking law enforcement officers during unrest.
The temporary ban is a nationwide measure with a defined end date of November 27. The French government has not announced whether it will be extended beyond that date; during the ban, both the sale and the use of the listed products are restricted.
