Ilan Gabet stated that Maïssa, 17 years old, had been blinded in one eye after being hit by a grenade thrown by the police while she was not protesting and was just passing by. He relayed the testimony of a person who claimed to have seen police officers positioned 50-80 meters away shooting with a direct trajectory, when they should have, according to this witness, been shooting in the air. The witness also stated that they saw a gray cartridge hit the young girl's eye before tear gas was released on the ground. Gabet added that Maïssa was crying and her perception of life had changed. He indicated that the information came from Politis and a video that had been sent to him. (translated)

Hawnie wrote that she did not endorse the destructions, particularly when they affected small businesses. However, she believed that one must take into account the distress and suffering experienced daily by the people who find themselves in such situations. She clarified that she did not view violence as a solution and that she would never encourage it. According to her, only one type of violence was highlighted to shock and divide, while the French should unite and defend themselves against the daily violence suffered by many of them. #Violence #Solidarité #DroitsDesHumains (translated)

Seydi Ba estimated that police custody significantly infringed upon freedoms and that it could serve an authoritarian power when it was, in his view, misused. He asserted that a person could only contest it if they were being prosecuted and that there was no effective recourse when the measure ended without follow-up. He added that a police officer could, in his opinion, keep someone in custody for two days without a lawyer or doctor, and then repeat this the following week. Seydi Ba compared this situation to a lettre de cachet without the prestige of royalty. #libertés #justice #droitsdelhomme (translated)

Seydi Ba advised people participating in the demonstration planned for the following day to film any potential police violence, considering video as an effective means of defense. He stated that it was legal to film the police and that an officer could not prohibit it solely because they were being filmed, nor could they force someone to delete their footage. He recommended enabling automatic backup on iCloud, Google Photos, or OneDrive, and then sending the videos as soon as the network allowed, which was often congested during demonstrations. He also suggested live streaming, provided that the platform kept a recording, and advised filming before an incident, announcing the date, time, and location out loud, and framing the RIO number of the officers, which was mandatory except in cases allowed by regulations. Seydi Ba also called for maintaining distance and avoiding filming the faces of other demonstrators, especially during live streams. In the event of violence, he advised against immediately publishing the footage, to keep the original file unaltered and to pass it on to a lawyer. He finally warned about the risk of images disappearing or a phone being damaged after being handled by police officers. #Manifestation #ViolencesPolicières #DroitsDesCitoyens (translated)
