PARIS, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- A memorial site for the victims of recent militant attacks in Paris was destroyed when French riot police clashed with climate change protesters.
The incident occurred Sunday at the Place de la Republique, which had become a temporary memorial for the 130 victims of the Nov. 13 Islamic State attacks in Paris. About 200 protesters clashed with police ahead of Monday's 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP21.
