France: Justice Minister Resigns over Proposed Antiterrorism Laws
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In France, Justice Minister Christiane Taubira has resigned in protest
over plans to strip people convicted of terrorism of their citizenship.
The steps, set to go before Parliament, were proposed in the wake of the
November 13 attacks in Paris that killed 130 people. Taubira, one of
France's few top black politicians, tweeted: "Sometimes staying on is
resisting, sometimes resisting means leaving."
