A 15-year-old teenager has lost a hand after a grenade explosion during clashes linked to the return of school protests in France. The teenager was seriously injured in Lens on Monday. Unverified police reports said he had picked up a stun grenade.
France is witnessing a stunning wave of teenage unrest, with protests exploding outside schools and clashes with security forces turning streets into scenes of chaos. Around 5,000 people have been arrested and hundreds injured as demonstrations spread across the country, with Paris police warning that the student movement is now “out of control.”
Students have blocked school entrances, while security forces have used tear gas in some confrontations. What began in Paris has now spread to Montpellier, Nantes and Marseille, with students protesting teacher shortages, overcrowded classrooms, long school hours, overheated classrooms and deteriorating school buildings.
Authorities allege that non-students have joined the protests and intensified the unrest, while several unions have thrown their support behind the demonstrations. As nearly 500 schools are reportedly affected, France faces mounting questions over how far the student revolt could spread.
