Police arrest 11 in the beating death of a right-wing student in France
- On Wednesday, Lyon prosecutors said 11 suspects were detained in connection with the killing of Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old far-right activist who died in hospital on Saturday after being attacked by at least six people in Lyon.
- At a university meeting in Lyon, clashes between far-left and far-right supporters sparked violence that led to Deranque's beating during a student event where Rima Hassan was keynote speaker.
- An autopsy found Deranque suffered a fractured skull and fatal brain injuries, while video and witness accounts show a dozen people hitting victims and using iron bars, TF1 television reported.
- Following the arrests, police secured La France Insoumise national headquarters in Paris after a bomb threat and France's National Assembly observed a minute of silence with a commemorative march next Saturday in Lyon.
- With municipal elections next month, political leaders blamed each other: government officials singled out LFI, Nemesis blamed La Jeune Garde, Jordan Bardella accused Jean‑Luc Mélenchon, and Raphaël Arnault said, `It is now up to the investigation to determine responsibility`.
