The Incident
A 15‑year‑old student lost his hand on Monday after attempting to grab a police grenade during a nationwide protest in France. The grenade was issued by the police as part of security measures for the demonstrations, which were calling for increased educational budget and better conditions in schools.[1]
The event unfolded while student activists were marching in the streets, demanding more resources for education. According to reports, the teenager was injured when he seized the device, which detonated or was damaged, causing the loss of one of his hands.[1]
Reactions from Analysts
Senior Lecturer in French Politics Ariane Bogain criticised the extent of the violence used by authorities. She told FRANCE 24 that “there is a definite issue with violence and we need to ask why there is this unidimensional reaction which is aggressive, which is riot police, which is repressive.”[1]
