Impact wrote that Evan, 15, who had lost a hand in the explosion of a police grenade in Lens, denied having picked it up, contrary to what the prosecution had claimed. According to the author, the teenager, injured on Monday, October 5, during a high school protest, also contested any involvement in violence, according to his lawyer. Impact added that this version had been widely relayed by the media, sometimes presented as established, while witnesses had contested it from the day of the events. The lawyer denounced, according to the author, a position of the prosecution formulated before Evan's hearing and in the absence of a video of the explosion. The teenager's mother had filed a complaint and the investigation by the IGPN was ongoing to establish the circumstances of the tragedy. #JusticePourEvan #LutteContreLaViolence #DroitsDesJeunes (translated)

Press Briefs reported that Evan, 15 years old, had his hand blown off by a grenade thrown by law enforcement on Monday in Lens, during a high school mobilization. The media indicated that the prosecutor initially claimed that the teenager had picked up the grenade, a version relayed by several major media outlets, including continuous news channels, but Evan denied it. According to Press Briefs, witnesses had challenged this version from the first day to the local radio Ici, formerly France Bleu. They reportedly said that the grenade exploded near Evan without him having picked it up. The media also indicated that the teenager's mother had filed a complaint for her son's injuries. Press Briefs questioned the media treatment given to the version from the prosecutor or the police when it serves as the main source of a narrative. The media added that earlier in the week, it had questioned a journalist from a major national channel in charge of police-justice cases about a framing based solely on police sources despite contradictory witness testimonies. According to Press Briefs, the journalist did not respond. #Lens #Evan #Médiatique (translated)

Press Briefs reported nearly 7,000 police custody cases, 86% of which involved minors, and indicated that the majority had not led to legal proceedings at this stage. The account described these arrests as a massive and unprecedented measure aimed at containing the mobilization of young people. Several cited observers viewed this as a form of intimidation, while Press Briefs believed this practice infringed on the right to protest and risked normalizing disproportionate police and judicial responses. The account added that the preventive use of police custody had already been documented during the Yellow Vests movement. Relying on independent press articles, Press Briefs relayed testimonies from high school students reporting violent detention conditions, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, forced undressings, and physical or psychological violence. A 15-year-old reportedly recounted being slammed against a concrete bed and hit on the head by police and then insulted. A complaint had been filed, according to the account, which also indicated that the police prefecture had not responded to Mediapart's questions about the reported statements. Mohammed, a 16-year-old high school student in Saint-Denis, reportedly stated that police had hit the bars of his cell during the night to wake up the detainees and had targeted him with a racist insult. The mother of Noham, also 16, claimed that her son had been hit in the liver and face after asking why he had been arrested. Adam's mother also denounced violence against young protesters. Press Briefs added that several teenage girls and boys reported sexist and racist remarks from police, and complaints had been filed. Anne Savinel-Barras, president of Amnesty International France, expressed her concern over the repression of the student movement, believing that the young people's demands for education and health were met with prohibitions on demonstrations and disproportionate police violence. The NGO stated that it would support people peacefully protesting and defend the right to demonstrate. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights also expressed concern about the situation in France and notably called for a proportional use of force. #jeunesse #manifestation #répression (translated)

Carlos Carrillo said that he had believed for some time that Olmedo López and Sneyder Pinilla had agreed to only partially testify to obtain benefits by pleading guilty and to protect powerful and dangerous individuals who, according to him, had controlled the UNGRD for years. He argued that those individuals would benefit from the transfer of both to La Picota and from López's fear, whom he described as someone in danger of death. Carrillo stated that the Colombian penal system should prioritize the safety of witnesses and noted that much of the truth was still yet to be known. #Colombia #Justicia #Testigos (translated)
