French authorities are making unprecedentedly broad use of discretionary powers under an anti-terror law to keep hundreds of people they deem to be potential security threats away from the Olympics. Many of those affected by the measures are minorities who largely come from backgrounds in former French colonies. They are forbidden from leaving their neighbourhoods and required to report daily to police. Some of those now restricted in their movements, with orders that don't require prior approval from judges, include a man who had mental health issues in the past but is now receiving treatment...

We have managed to finalise works that might have taken 10 or 15 years to achieve, in four or five years. "The Games were a great accelerator for the city", explains Pierre Rabadan, deputy mayor in charge of spor...
