Anti-prostitution group's protest attacked in Paris

WOMEN protesting against prostitution and pornography were attacked in the French capital Paris on Sunday when their rally platform was daubed with a death threat.

And about 15 activists from the Collective for the Abolition of Pornography & Prostitution (Capp) were set upon as they held a protest to mark International Women’s Day in Place de la Republique.

They had draped banners over one of the statues with slogans condemning the violence that women face in prostitution and the pornographic industry when an angry mob attacked them.
