The number of people arrested as a result of the French riots is over two thousand

According to the country's Ministry of the Interior, more than 2,000 people have been detained in France since the riots that followed the police shooting of little Nahel.

The French authorities announced the arrest of 719 people on Saturday night, which was the fifth night of the protests over the young man's execution.

The disturbances that started last Tuesday are also less frequent, according to the nation's Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Gerald Darmanin, France's interior minister, declared yesterday that 45,000 police officers would be dispatched to other regions of the nation to put an end to the rioting on Saturday night.

The young man was buried yesterday, and his grieving relatives and friends are still inconsolable over his passing.
