Press Briefs reported, citing Le Monde, that Eden, 14 years old, had lost the ability to speak after being hit in the face by a tear gas grenade fired by a police officer on September 28 in Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône. The projectile was allegedly fired at point-blank range and nearly broke all of his upper teeth, tore part of his gums, and caused a double jaw fracture. The police officer had been charged with violence resulting in mutilation or permanent disability and placed under judicial supervision. The publication added that students and teachers at the Château-d’Épluches high school remained in shock. A teacher was wondering how to support the students after the incident, while Ryan, a friend of Eden, had hung a sign reading "Justice for Eden" on the school gate and sent a photo to his friend. Eden had replied to him with a heart emoji. https://t.co/B2wcjxMAPH #JusticePourEden #ViolencesPolicières #LibertéDexpression (translated)
