PARIS (Reuters) - France calls itself "the homeland of human rights" but has focussed in the past week on limiting them as the government pushed through sweeping curbs on basic freedoms in the wake of the Paris massacre.

In the edgy days since jihadists killed 130 people on Nov. 13, the government declared a "war on terrorism", extended its initial post-attack state of emergency for three months and laid out plans to write further restrictions into the constitution.
