      Thousands of protesters marched through Nantes, demonstrating against the bill approved by France's parliament banning the dissemination of images of police officers and soldiers in a bid to protect them from being targeted as individuals, Friday.

      Protesters were seen carrying flares and banners, while marching through the streets, with police spotted using tear gas to disperse them.

      Those involved in the publication and dissemination of the pictures could face a year in prison or a fine of up to €45,000 ($53,8400).
