Tens of thousands of "yellow vest" protesters marched across France on Saturday, 3 months since the movement began, and in a week that has seen growing international concern at police treatment of the protesters.

Demonstrating for the 14th consecutive weekend, 41,500 people turned out across the country, according to the interior ministry, well down on the 282,000 peak during the protests' early weeks.
A ministry statement said 5,000 people protested in Paris but march organizers put the numbers far higher.

"We are 15,000, that means the movement is increasing," Jerome Rodrigues, one of the movement's better known figures, told AFP at the Paris march.
