October 17 demonstration: a 17-year-old girl filed a complaint after being blinded in one eye

A 17-year-old girl filed a complaint after losing her left eye during a protest in Mulhouse on October 17, allegedly due to a tear gas projectile. She was not participating in the demonstration but was caught in the crowd while trying to leave. Her lawyer claims she did not engage in any violence or vandalism. Following the incident, the Mulhouse prosecutor's office initiated an investigation into aggravated violence. The lawyer criticized the use of force as disproportionate and is seeking the identification and suspension of the police officer involved. The protest had escalated when some groups clashed with law enforcement and vandalized property.
