Riot police moved in on Monday to clear out Place de la Republique in Paris, which has become home to nocturnal protests as hundreds have gathered to air their many grievances as well as sing and drink beer. But how will it end ?
It wasn't immediately clear if Monday morning's evacuation (see tweet below) of the famous square in Paris meant protesters would be forbidden from returning as they have done each evening for the last 11 nights.
What is clear though is that the "Nuit Debout" (which roughly translates as "Rise Up at Night") movement appears to be growing in strength rather than dying out and the authorities in Paris are unlikely to risk barring them from their headquarters just yet.
Following the evacuation, which removed the wooden fences and structures built by protesters, the organizers of Nuit Debout immediately vowed to return for a 12th night. Full story...
