Maïssa, blinded at 17 on October 17: "I was shot but two seconds before I was smiling"

Maïssa celebrated her 18th birthday on an operating table due to injuries from a tear gas grenade, resulting in a fractured orbital floor and a damaged cornea. This incident occurred on October 17 in Mulhouse during a social movement, where she was unintentionally caught in a protest while out with friends. Previously enjoying a wonderful day, Maïssa is now beginning her recovery and pursuing legal action with her lawyer, Pierre Brunisso, as her mother filed a complaint. The public prosecutor has initiated an investigation into aggravated violence by the national police's internal oversight body.
