Extra police deployed and curfew imposed after week of ‘quasi-insurrectional’ unrest

Islanders are angry after Paris announced that health workers across all French territories must have Covid vaccinations. This sparked demonstrations that degenerated into the torching and looting of shops and pharmacies and clashes with police.
