PARIS: French authorities are investigating an attack on a transgender woman who was assaulted and jeered at a demonstration in central Paris against Algerian president Abdelaziz Bouteflika that sparked outrage on Wednesday among activists and politicians.
A girl wearing an Algerian flag around her shoulders apparently tries to intercede before a team of metro security officials arrive on the scene and escort the woman away. "Everyone should be able to move about freely in public spaces whatever their gender. This video shows it's not the case and that there is still a lot of progress to be made," the president of the SOS Homophobie campaign group, Joel Deumier, said, calling for the attackers to face justice.
