“French School Protests: 15-Year-Old Loses Hand in Stun Grenade Blast as Hundreds of School” — what this page in the network covers. A 15-year-old protester lost his hand after picking up a police stun grenade during school demonstrations in Lens, northern France, local prefect François-Xavier Lauch confirmed on Monday. The incident comes as hundreds of schools across France remain fully or partly closed, with teenagers blockading buildings in the largest youth protest movement in years. Demonstrators are demanding action on what they describe as dilapidated and understaffed schools.
Prime Minister has ordered ministers to address students' five major demands, including organizing replacement teachers and school repairs. The protests highlight growing frustration over education conditions, and the severe injury in Lens underscores the escalating tensions between protesters and police. As the government scrambles to respond, the movement shows no signs of fading, raising questions about how authorities will balance security with students' right to protest.
