A couple in France is reporting acts of violence by police officers against participants in a recent march to defend marriage against redefinition by the French government.
In an email sent to CNA, Benoit and Marie Dubois described violent actions that they claimed to witness at a March 24 pro-family demonstration.
"The government allowed a peaceful demonstration made up mostly of families comprised grandparents, parents and children, to be violently repressed," the Duboises said.
"Without any warning and at point blank, they used tear gas, pointed their guns at small children and various young people were beaten for no reason at all."
