Some news<\/a> from Paris:<\/p>\n

\n

A transgender woman has spoken out after a video went viral of her being attacked near a rally in central Paris against Algeria’s ailing president.<\/p>\n

Julia has described being targeted by three men in the Place de la R\u00e9publique.<\/p>\n

Julia, 31, was set upon on Sunday as she walked up steps at the metro station in the Place de la R\u00e9publique. A big rally was taking place in the square against Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Algeria’s long-ruling 82-year-old president, who has since announced his resignation.<\/p>\n

Wearing a black-and-white striped blouse, Julia was blocked by protesters who taunted her in Arabic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
