French Police conduct questioned after student protest injuries

# French police are facing increased scrutiny over their handling of student protests after a series of serious injuries, including cases involving teenagers. Reuters reports that 24 cases linked to police actions are being investigated. A 14-year-old boy suffered serious facial injuries after being hit by a tear-gas grenade, while a 15-year-old lost a hand in an incident involving a stun grenade. The government has suspended the use of stun grenades during student protests while the incident is investigated. Police unions argue that officers need appropriate equipment to deal with violent confrontations.
