In sync with a global sweep by local police forces against Occupy movements, French Occupy, or Les Indignés, had their camp in La Défense raided last night by French authorities. Protesters captured the crackdown on video and described it as violent, RFI reports.
Around 100 police moved on the camp, which is in a financial district on the outskirts of the city. French Occupy is only two weeks old, and has yet to grow to the size of movements on the east and west coasts of the United States.
You can see the video here, which at points may be graphic to some viewers:
