"France's Swift Trials: Hundreds Arrested in Riots Face Justice"

France is conducting hasty trials for the hundreds of people arrested during the recent protests over the police shooting of a teenager. The justice system is working around the clock to process the cases, with many defendants being funneled through quick trials known as comparutions immédiates. Lawyers often have just 30 minutes to prepare, and cases frequently result in prison time. The majority of those arrested have no prior criminal record, and most are minors. The protests have highlighted long-standing issues of racism and police violence in France, with many protesters feeling unfairly targeted by identity checks.
