French lawyers to sue interior minister over protester 'mutilations'

Lawyers representing 18 individuals injured in recent protests in France plan to sue Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez for alleged police brutality. The protests, sparked by high school students demanding better conditions, have expanded due to public outrage over police violence and rising living costs. Attorney Arié Alimi stated that the lawsuit will be filed with the Court of Justice of the Republic, targeting Nuñez for his orders regarding the use of potentially harmful crowd control weapons. Reports indicate that police actions have resulted in serious injuries to at least 20 individuals since mid-September, prompting multiple internal investigations into police conduct.
