Amnesty urges France to permanently ban stun grenades at protests
Original: France: Permanently ban the use of all stun grenades in policing of protests
Amnesty International is calling on France to permanently ban the use of all stun grenades, also known as sting grenades, in the policing of protests. The human rights organisation argues the weapons cause serious injuries and should not be deployed against demonstrators, renewing scrutiny of French crowd-control tactics used during recent protest movements.
Why now: Ongoing concerns about injuries from French police crowd-control weapons during protests have put the issue back in the spotlight.
