Riots broke out in Trappes, a suburb (banlieue) of Paris, France, on 19 July 2013 after the police arrested a man who assaulted a police officer, who tried to check the identity of his wife wearing a Muslim veil on 18 July 2013.
Background
France officially banned face covering in public places in April 2011.[8] Although disputed by French Muslims, the law remains in effect. On 18 July a 21-year-old Muslim convert was asked by the police to remove her face-covering veil. Her husband tried to choke the officer and was detained.[1] The female was released on 20 July awaiting a court hearing.[1]
The incident is part of the Islamic scarf controversy in France.[9]
Riots
On 19 July hundreds of youths throwing rocks, reportedly mainly of North African ethnicity, attacked the local police station.[1]
On 20 July[5] 20 cars were burned in Trappes.[1][2][10]
