France's lower house of parliament is opening debate Tuesday on a security bill that would permit the imprisonment of people who publish images of police officers with the intent to cause them harm.

Critics, including France's human rights ombudsman, said the measure would hurt press freedoms.

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/french-public-radio-station-has-mistakenly-broadcast-obituaries-of-many-celebrities-343703/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

Offenders would face up to one year in prison and a 45,000-euro ($53,000) fine under the proposed law championed by lawmakers of President Emmanuel Macron's party, which has a majority at the National Assembly.

The bill's most controversial measure would make it a new criminal offense to disseminate, by whatever means and on whatever media, with the intent of causing physical or psychological harm, an image of the face, or any other element that could identify a police officer."

The measure's backers include Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin. Speaking last week, he said it is needed because officers ''are constantly threatened in their personal life&nbsp;after being identified and because there are calls for female officers to be raped.''

He downplayed any impact for journalists, saying ''they'll obviously still be able to film any police intervention."

But France's human rights ombudsman, Claire Hedon, said the bill involves ''significant risks of undermining fundamental rights,''&nbsp;including press freedom.

''The publication of images relating to police interventions are legitimate and necessary for democratic functioning," she said.

Journalists' unions and rights campaigners called for protests Tuesday in front of the National Assembly.

Critics are warning that the bill will result in ''massive''&nbsp;self-censorship and argue that images posted online help expose police blunders and brutality.

They say the measure would endanger journalists and citizen-journalists, especially during violent demonstrations. They also worry about how courts will determine whether images were posted with intent to harm.

The National Assembly is scheduled to vote next week on the bill, which will then go to the Senate.&nbsp;

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian was in Egypt on Sunday hoping to ease tensions&nbsp;following the publishing of controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed&nbsp;that sparked ire in the Arab world.

A diplomatic source said Le Drian would meet President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand imam of Al-Azhar, Egypt's highest Muslim authority.

Le Drian “will pursue the appeasement process” started by President Emmanuel Macron, the French Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The Cairo-based Al-Azhar, considered the foremost religious institutions for Sunni Muslims, condemned French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo's decision in September to reprint the cartoons.

And last month Tayeb denounced remarks by Macron in “Islamist separatism” as “racist” and spreading “hate speech”.

Demonstrations have erupted in several Muslim-majority countries after Mr. Macron defended the right to publish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, which many saw as insulting and an attack on Islam.

Macron's remarks came after a suspected Islamist decapitated a schoolteacher in a Paris suburb on October 16, after he showed the cartoons during a lesson on freedom of expression.

Sisi himself had weighed in, saying last month that “to insult the prophets amounts to underestimating the religious beliefs of many people”.

A Prussian soldier's message sent via a pigeon about 100 years old was found by a couple who walked on the streets of eastern France.&nbsp;

The message that appears from 1910 or possibly 1916 is written in German by an infantry soldier based at Ingersheim and has addressed this to his senior officer, said Dominique Jardy, curator of the Linge Museum at Orbey in eastern France, as reported by news agency AFP.&nbsp;

During that period, Ingersheim, now in France's Grand Est department, was a German region.&nbsp;

Jardy said that the couple found the tiny capsule with its well-preserved contents in September in Ingersheim.

Describing it as a "super rave" discovery, the curator added that the duo decided to bring it to the closest museum, the one at Orbey dedicated to one of the deadliest battles fought during the first World War from 1914 to 1918.

He said that a German friend helped him to decode the contents of the message.&nbsp;

The tiny piece of paper and capsule will now be a permanent part of the museum's display.&nbsp;

Top 10 world news: US Election latest, situation in France, and more

We are witnessing the resurgence of terrorism in Europe. It's not just France or Austria that faces the terror threat. Radicalism has been growing around Europe. And European leaders are waking up to the threat posed by political Islam. On Monday, France struck back.

More than 50 Jihadists linked to Al-Qaeda were killed in an airstrike in Mali. France has been fighting a long-drawn battle against extremism in this region&nbsp;

In&nbsp;return, Macron now has a target on his head. Al Qaeda is threatening to attack the French President. It said that killing anyone who insults the Prophet is the right of every Muslim. Islamist extremism has become Europe's reality. 
&nbsp; 
With words 'Islam is a religion in crisis' Emmanuel Macron painted a target on his back. What followed was a major backlash from the Muslim world. Protesters took to the streets.

The Islamic world may have rejected Macron's message but European leaders must take it as a wake-up call. It's a continent that is struggling with growing radicalism.

In 2019, there were 119 attempted attacks in Europe. Out of these, 21 were linked to Jihadist terrorism.

In 2020, the attacks in France and Austria mark a resurgence of terrorism in Europe.&nbsp;

The challenge is collective. The response isn't.

Different European countries are trying to deal with terror threats with their own unique measures. Austria banned foreign funding for the Islamic group in 2015.

Germany made a push to train Imams locally. Italy punished radical Imams. By 2018, it has expelled 16 Imams. Sweden axed government funding to two Muslim organisations. This included a Muslim brotherhood youth group.

Sweden said that the group didn't fulfil the 'democracy requirement' needed for government aid.

Clearly, these limited measures were not enough. Europe needs a united front to challenge Islamism. A front, that can collaborate with international partners.

During his visit to Germany, India Foreign Secretary highlighted the need for greater co-operation against terror networks.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
While raising the issue of growing radicalism in Europe he said, "The terrorists are united in purpose and action while we, the victims, are yet to be so" 
&nbsp; 
This is a pivotal moment for Europe. Leaders who pushed for open borders and sat in judgment of other countries that implemented tough measures are learning it the hard way.

They need decisive action and a comprehensive approach.
