15-year-old loses hand to police stun grenade at Lens protest
A 15-year-old lost a hand in Lens on October 5 after contact with a police stun grenade during France's student protests. The protests began September 21 over teacher shortages and poor conditions and have spread beyond Paris. Education Minister Edouard Geffray said at least 190 students were injured. I expect policing tactics near schools to face intense scrutiny.
