Original review summary

INFOVERITAS says the viral video is out of context: it shows a protest in Clichy-la-Garenne in March 2017 over the closure of a Muslim place of worship, not simply people choosing to pray in the street despite available mosques. The review links the footage to street prayers that began on 22 March 2017 after a religious association was expelled from its place of worship.[S1]

Additional context

The review says the dispute began after police were ordered to evict the religious association on 21 March 2017; demonstrations followed on Fridays in front of the town hall. [S1]
