Original: French police officer is charged after student, 16, is blinded by a rubber bullet while protesting
A French police officer has been charged after a 16-year-old student lost sight in one eye when struck by a rubber bullet fired during a protest. The case has reignited debate in France over police use of less-lethal weapons at demonstrations and accountability for injuries to protesters, with the teenager's blindness drawing widespread public anger and calls for stricter rules on crowd-control munitions.
Why now: The charging of an officer over a teenager's serious injury raises ongoing French concerns about policing of protests and use of rubber bullets.
