The protesters – mostly young Afghan men- at Monday’s rally in Jalalabad, the capital of the eastern Nangarhar province, also demanded the French Embassy in Kabul be shut down and that the French government apologize to Muslims.

It was the third straight day of protests across Afghanistan since the paper’s first issue following the Jan. 7 attack on its headquarters by Islamic extremists that killed 12.
