(AP Photo/Thibault Camus)PARIS Frances human rights watchdog on Monday urged authorities to take key measures to fight racial discrimination as the country has seen a series of anti-racism gatherings in the wake of the death of George Floyd in the U.S. In an 80-page report, Frances defender of rights, Jacques Toubon, said discrimination affects the lives of millions of people and their fundamental rights in the country.
