Hukum · Lens grenade injuryFrance Pauses Stun Grenades at School Protests After Teen Loses HandDitulis 8 Oktober 2026 pukul 00.38 UTCTontonTranskrip0:09On October 1st, we reported police force inquiries.0:12Now a pupil has lost his left hand.0:14France has withdrawn a stun grenade capability from high school protests while0:19investigators establish what happened.0:20The restriction has no fixed end date, but it is not a general ban on police0:25grenades.0:25What can the evidence establish about the injury and what remains unresolved about0:29the police shot?0:30A 15-year-old was injured outside Lycée Professionnel Auguste Bay Hall in Lens, in0:35northern France.0:36He lives in nearby Wingles and was taken to Lille for treatment after the explosion0:40on October 5.0:41The injury occurred at about 10.30 local time, with approximately 200 to 250 pupils0:46gathered.0:47The initial deployment account describes stones, fireworks, and mortars thrown at0:50local police, followed by a company of CRS riot police.0:53That does not establish that every pupil threw anything or that the injured boy did.0:58The pupils' demands concern more teachers, replacement cover, adequate supplies,1:03maintained buildings, and less crowded classrooms.1:06Those grievances explain the school blockades.1:09They cannot establish how a grenade caused this pupil's injury.1:12The boy lost one hand, his left not both hands.1:16The subsequent amputation also means describing the injury simply as lost use of a1:20hand understates the permanent disability.1:23He underwent surgery on October 5th, received a graft to his right hand, and had1:27wounds to his face and thorax.1:29He was sedated and sleeping extensively afterward, and remained hospitalized on1:34October 7th.1:35His life was initially described as not in danger.1:38That does not diminish the permanent disability or establish a prognosis for his1:42other injuries.1:43No public medical record, verified rehabilitation plan, discharge date, or detailed1:48long-term recovery assessment has been established.1:50His mother rejects the pickup explanation and argues that action came only after her1:54son lost his hand.1:55On October 7th, she announced that she would file a complaint within hours.1:59Completion of that filing is not established.2:01No complaint had yet been filed by the evening of October 6th.2:05The next day's announcement changes the family's stated next step.2:08It does not prove that a formal complaint was subsequently lodged.2:12Neither a pickup nor an intention to throw the grenade back has been established.2:16A nearby witness rejected both pickup and catching it.2:19Competing explanations also describe a projectile fired toward him or landing on2:24him.2:24The preliminary reconstruction identifies warnings to disperse, projectiles directed2:28at CRS officers and burning bins.2:31Police use tear gas grenades, followed by at least one stun grenade.2:35It does not identify the device that caused the hand injury.2:38The precise trajectory and the legality of that particular use of force remain2:42unresolved.2:43The inquiry initially left open whether the boy recovered a grenade that exploded in2:47his hand or whether one landed on him.2:49Authenticated amateur footage published on October 7th at 1716 shows a grenade2:54landing on the ground at two teenagers' feet in a car park.2:57A third teenager bends toward it with a hand extended.2:59The visible frames do not show pickup.3:01A CRS line is visible behind them.3:04The third teenager is among about 15 apparently moving away.3:07He leaves the frame for a few seconds, a detonation is heard, and he is then seen3:11running with the others.3:12The sequence challenges the explanation that the grenade landed directly on his3:16hand, but the missing view prevents it from proving what his hand did before the3:19explosion.3:20Investigators' formal receipt of the footage remains unsettled.3:23The directly described position at publication was that the images had not yet3:27reached them.3:28The boy was expected to be interviewed very soon, but no exact date was announced.3:32The police watchdog, IGPN, is investigating suspected violence causing permanent3:37disability or mutilation.3:39As of October 7th, the CRS officer holding the launcher at the relevant moment had3:43been interviewed as a witness.3:45No lens-specific charge is established.3:47The officer was authorized to use the launcher.3:50That general authorization does not determine whether this shot was authorized,3:54proportionate, and legitimate.3:55Investigators still need to establish whether he was the only officer to launch a3:59stun grenade.4:00A separate officer's formal investigation concerned another pupil's injury in St.4:04Wen Lomonet, not this lens case.4:07Opening the lens inquiry does not prove an offense.4:10The suspension applies only to the high school protest movement until the lens4:13circumstances are clarified.4:15Tear gas and other munitions remain outside its stated scope.4:19The order followed Emmanuel Macron's request after the October 6th government4:22meeting.4:23The reported instruction names an Alcatex ASSD grenade projected by launcher.4:28That designation conflicts with technical descriptions of ASSD as hand-thrown only.4:32A public facsimile of the instruction has not been verified, and the naming4:36discrepancy remains unresolved.4:38ASSD, EFSON, GM2L and rubber pellet anti-encirclement grenades4:44are not interchangeable names.4:45Earlier explanations suggested GM2L or an anti-encirclement grenade.4:49One witness described an explosion consistent with GM2L.4:53The minister described a strong possibility of a stun grenade, not definitive4:57identification of the model responsible.4:59The ASSD description gives approximately 160 decibels at 10 meters and a delay of5:04about 1.5 seconds, intended to prevent pickup.5:07The same sound level is reported for EFSON.5:10It cannot identify which device exploded at lens.5:13The hand-thrown ASSD is described as replacing hand-thrown GM2L after that use was5:18prohibited in July 2021 because of danger to officers.5:21GM2L contains tear gas.5:23This ASSD description does not.5:25The alternative launcher round description identifies EFSAS-UN, approximately 405:30millimeters used with the Cobra launcher and in service from summer 2025.5:34The approximately 80-meter range at 45 degrees, with a precision margin of about 205:39meters, belongs to the EFSON description, not hand-thrown ASSD.5:45It is not evidence of the distance of the lens shot.5:47These are secondary specifications, not independently extracted manufacture tests or5:52measurements of the explosion.5:53Serious auditory injury and fragments are identified hazards, but the public5:57material does not establish fragment characteristics or wound distances.6:01Calling a weapon non-lethal does not mean it cannot cause permanent injury.6:04August Behal switched to distance learning and opened a dedicated listening line6:08staffed by education professionals on October 5.6:11A partial return was scheduled for October 7th at 10 o'clock, following discussion6:15with some pupils for final year and post-baccalaureate students.6:19That morning, Lille Academy rector Sophie Bajon met approximately 200 pupils and6:24their teachers for a discussion requested by the Education Minister.6:27She announced further listening and school democracy sessions and a return in a few6:31weeks or months, not a fixed appointment.6:34The visit did not settle pupils' anger or explain their classmates' injury.6:38The answer is a permanent injury, a limited restriction, and an unfinished6:43investigation.6:44Rights groups question proportionality.6:46Police unions defend less lethal options against violent confrontations.6:50Neither position supplies the missing evidence about this boy or establishes an6:54officer's responsibility.6:55The boy's anticipated interview, complete imagery, and police deployment record7:00remain consequential evidence.7:01No inquiry completion date or fixed date for lifting the restriction has been7:04announced.7:05The family's complaint still requires confirmation.7:07The boy's left-hand amputation is permanent.Baca artikelKronologi ceritaHeyDexVideo singkat ↗Siapa melaporkan apaPoin yang dilaporkan lebih dari satu media✓Clashes between police and protesters in ParisDikonfirmasi secara independen ·
