BBC News – World France halts stun grenades after student protester loses hand
France has suspended police use of stun grenades against student protesters after a 15-year-old boy had his hand blown off during a clash with riot police. The French government announced the move on Wednesday amid protests over education funding and allegations of disproportionate force. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu is due to address the nation, and 18 internal police probes have been launched.
