French Police Investigated Over Injuries to Teenagers in School ProtestsPreviousNext

French police face scrutiny over alleged excessive force during student protests demanding better school conditions. Reports detail severe injuries to teenagers, including severed hands, broken jaws, and potential eye damage. Authorities have opened investigations into 36 violence allegations, including cases involving explosive weapons. Police and protesters have both sustained injuries amid widespread demonstrations. Lawyers and rights groups call for restrictions on police crowd-control weapons, while officials maintain police actions are rarely responsible for the harm.
