Last week, the popular Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel was declared illegal in France, making it a crime to call for a boycott of Israeli goods. But B-D-S campaigners have taken to the streets in defiance, arguing that the move is in contradiction with France's policy of valuing freedom of speech. As a result, French police have failed to enforce the new ban. From Paris, Press TV's Ramin Mazaheri explains.
