Amnesty urges France to ban stun grenades after teen loses hand
Original: Amnesty International calls on France to ban stun grenades after teenager loses hand at school protest
Amnesty International is calling on French authorities to ban stun grenades after a teenager lost a hand during a school protest when police used the devices against demonstrators. The rights group says the grenades pose an unacceptable danger to civilians and wants them withdrawn from use at protests. The call has renewed debate in France over police crowd-control tactics and the equipment used by security forces.
Why now: The severity of the injury to a minor at a protest has put French police equipment and protest policing back in the spotlight.
