Policeman Charged for Involuntary Injury During 2018 Protest in Paris
A police officer has been sent to trial for involuntary injury to a ‘yellow vest’ protester during a demonstration in Paris in November 2018. The judge concluded that while the officer did not intend to cause harm, he failed to take necessary precautions when using a grenade, leading to severe injuries to the protester. This decision comes after more than four years of investigation and counters the earlier request for dismissal by prosecutors.
