France suspended the use of stun grenades by police during student protests. This was announced on Wednesday by Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez, after a 15-year-old demonstrator lost an arm. Another 14-year-old student suffered serious injuries during the protests, including the loss of most of his teeth. Tagesspiegel ↗
Nuñez stated that the use of grenades would be suspended until the course of the incident is clarified. The measure concerns demonstrations organized by high school students, which continued in several parts of France. Trade unions, human rights organizations, and the students themselves accused the authorities of using disproportionate force. teraz.sk ↗
The French interior minister also refused to take personal responsibility for the police's conduct. The French police inspectorate opened 18 investigations into the circumstances of the interventions. The protests led to more than 200 high schools being blocked. Le Monde ↗
After a day of extensive street protests, classes resumed at the vast majority of French high schools. Nevertheless, the situation remains tense. President Emmanuel Macron called for moderation and asked for understanding toward the students. Laurent Nuñez and Education Minister Édouard Geffray are also set to discuss the protests in the French National Assembly. The information provided in this context does not mention Sébastien Lecornu.
