The lawyer for the 25-year-old woman said legal proceedings against her "Verged on the ridiculous", pointing out that out of the hundreds arrested at the demonstration only two people had appeared before the court.

Riot police fired teargas at far-left activists and arrested more than 300 people after a group of protesters pelted officers with bottles and candles taken from a tribute to the victims of the Paris attacks.

French police have banned demonstrations on Paris' prestigious Champs Élysées avenue and near the venue for the conference at Le Bourget north of the capital during the two-week climate talks.

In a second fast-tracked case, a 28-year-old man was sentenced to three months in jail for throwing a glass bottle at a police officer, wounding his lip slightly, during the clashes in central Paris's place de la République.

The man and the woman were also found guilty of ignoring a police order to disperse, but both said they had not heard it.

They suggested a five-month suspended sentence for the woman while the young man had faced eight months immediate imprisonment, four of which would form part of a suspended sentence.
