The International Nonviolence Organization (Free Muslim) issued a statement expressing deep concern over escalating protests and unrest in French cities. While affirming the right to peaceful protest, the organization strongly condemned violence, destruction of property, and the excessive use of force by all parties.

To help resolve the crisis, the organization called for an immediate end to violence, restraint by security forces, the opening of a national dialogue with marginalized groups, serious attention to the underlying economic and social causes, and an end to hate speech. It also stressed the need to establish an independent fact-finding committee to ensure justice and restore calm.
