Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Eleven people have been arrested for deadly attack on a far-right student activist at a protest last week in Lyon, France.
Quentin Deranque, 23, died Saturday after he sustained a severe brain injury from the attack. Prosecutor Thierry Dran said Deranque had been "thrown to the ground and beaten by at least six individuals" during the incident.
Dran said late Tuesday that nine suspects were arrested, some of which participated and others who supported them. Hours later, two more were arrested.
Students and activists protested against a conference attended by Rima Hassan, a European Union member of parliament for the far-left party, La France Insoumise.
