Impact wrote that Evan, 15, who had lost a hand in the explosion of a police grenade in Lens, denied having picked it up, contrary to what the prosecution had claimed. According to the author, the teenager, injured on Monday, October 5, during a high school protest, also contested any involvement in violence, according to his lawyer. Impact added that this version had been widely relayed by the media, sometimes presented as established, while witnesses had contested it from the day of the events. The lawyer denounced, according to the author, a position of the prosecution formulated before Evan's hearing and in the absence of a video of the explosion. The teenager's mother had filed a complaint and the investigation by the IGPN was ongoing to establish the circumstances of the tragedy. #JusticePourEvan #LutteContreLaViolence #DroitsDesJeunes (translated)
