Representatives of France's Kurdish community gathered in central Paris on Saturday for a demonstration to demand answers over the killing of three Kurds in the French capital they say has exposed the community's vulnerability.
A gunman carried out the killings at a Kurdish cultural center and nearby cafe on Friday in a busy part of Paris' 10th district.
Police arrested a 69-year-old man whom the authorities said had recently been freed from detention while awaiting trial for a saber attack on a migrant camp in Paris a year ago.
Friday's murders caused dismay in the Kurdish community as it prepared to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the killings of three Kurdish women in Paris.
"The Kurdish community is afraid. It needs answers, support, and consideration," David Andic, a lawyer representing the CDK-F.
