🛑 Communiqué 🛑 The family of the young Eden L., 14 years old, targeted in the face by a close-range tear gas launcher shot, has entrusted me with the defense of their interests. These extremely serious facts illustrate the outburst of violence that the police inflicted near a school and against a child. (translated)
We're talking about 440 children. This figure is terrifying; I don't know how far back one has to go to find a comparison. We must demand their immediate release and the abandonment of proceedings for those who are summoned before a juvenile judge. (translated)
This morning, the municipal police of Saint-Denis fired at the Suger high school with a LBD (defense bullet launcher). When police are not deprived of their weapons, they use them to silence the anger of high school students. Since last week, we have been calling out @BallyBagayoko and the LFI majority of the city on this issue. Do we have to wait for a young person to be blinded before reacting? We stand with LFI elected officials on the blockades. But while we support the anger of high school students and their right to express themselves, we cannot be satisfied with just being present. The LFI town hall must take a stand on concrete measures: the withdrawal of municipal police from high schools, the abolition of the LBD and all weapons that have injured high school students, and demand the dropping of charges against all repressed students.

It's serious: Sébastien Lecornu lied to criminalize high school students. I investigated and spoke with staff from Paul Eluard high school yesterday. They confirmed to me, with evidence, that the story about a "hydrochloric acid" jet by "attackers" was a complete invention of the government and the far-right. With such an accusation, the government is trying to conjure a racist imaginary to criminalize high school students and justify their repression. This fake news must be widely denounced, solidarity with the high school students! (translated)
Maintenant la préfecture interdit un CONCERT à partir d'insinuations scandaleuse contre Médine, parce que la foule a chanté "tout le monde déteste la police" au concert de Soso Manes à la Fête de l'Huma en 2021 ou en attribuant au comité Adama des "troubles" lors d'une manifestation en 2020. Apres une campagne ridicule depuis plusieurs jours, cet arrêté révèle l'étendue du pouvoir arbitraire de l'administration qui interdit ce qu'elle veut sur des fondements toujours plus ridicules. La multiplication de ces attaques autoritaires est insupportable, il faut réagir collectivement à ces offensives anti-démocratiques incessantes. Soutien à la France Insoumise face à ce harcèlement scandaleux. #LibertéDExpression #Justice #Démocratie
