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)

Valet also claimed that stones had been gathered high near the windows to be thrown at the police, and he questioned the three-day delay before the university president requested the evacuation of the premises.
