Une rafle, visiblement sans aucune justification puisque 60 des 62 raflés n'ont pas été mis en garde à vue.
Jeudi 5 novembre, 62 manifestants qui s’étaient mis à l’abri des gaz lacrymogènes dans un restaurant ont été embarqués dans un bus réquisitionné par la police. Dans la soirée, 60 ont été relâchés et 2 ont été placés en garde à vue, d’après le parquet.
