Clement Meric killing: France bans far-right groups

France has banned three far-right groups allegedly linked to the death of a left-wing activist in a Paris brawl.

Government spokeswoman Najat Vallaud-Belkacem said the Third Way, the Revolutionary Nationalist Youth (JNR) and the Desire to Dream association had been officially dissolved.

Wednesday's announcement follows the death of Clement Meric, 18.

He was badly beaten in a clash in a busy shopping area between far-right and anti-fascist activists in June.
