The Gendarmerie’s order may be considered one tool in the overall policy of state of emergency. However, the decision came without any official backing. 
Therefore, residents asked deputies and human rights activists t to send an independent committee to the village in order to understand the aggravation that the curfew causes people and to assess its legality.
