Police union spokesman Reda Belhaj denies orders to break protests
Original: reda belhaj
Reda Belhaj, spokesman for the French police union Unité SGP, responded to accusations that officers were using violent repression to "break the mobilisation" during ongoing protests. Speaking on BFMTV's forum, he said "there is no instruction in that direction," rejecting claims that police had been ordered to suppress demonstrators.
Why now: Ongoing protests in France are drawing accusations of heavy-handed policing, making union officials' responses newsworthy.
