The Charonne funeral drew the largest Paris street turnout since the Liberation.

Evidence

The police now appeared to go quite berserk, hurling demonstrators bodily over the railing on top of the trapped mob below, and then followed this up by heaving heavy iron tree-guards and marble-topped café tables down on to the terror-struck melée. When it was all over eight dead were picked up — including three women and a sixteen-year-old boy employed by L’Humanité. Over 100 were injured; but the police also suffered 140 casualties. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1529 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
