Eight men were taken into custody this Tuesday in Lyon as part of the investigation into a violent attack carried out in November by ultra-right activists. The eight suspects were arrested at the request of an investigating judge by judicial police and anti-terrorism agents.
Their police custody could therefore last 96 hours. According to the ultra-left, one of the local leaders of the student union “La Cocarde’s” is among the group arrested on Tuesday. The attack left seven injured, three of whom were transferred to hospital.
