France's Justice Ministry says 5,060 people, 87% of them minors, have been placed in police custody since the start of the high school student movement. Of the 1,802 people facing prosecution so far, 1,483 are minors and 319 are adults. The figures are drawing attention to how young the bulk of those detained and charged are.
