On the night between April 15 and 16, new attacks targeted French prisons and staff, including vehicles and buildings set on fire. France’s justice minister Gérald Darmanin says attempts are underway to destabilize the state through intimidation. This follows earlier incidents involving arson, graffiti, and even automatic gunfire. The attacks have occurred outside several prisons across the country. Minister Darmanin blames drug traffickers and promises a firm response. Camille Knight has this story.
