So far "we have used serious qualifications (...), we believe today that it is imperative to target the one who is responsible for the mutilations and massive damage, namely the Minister of the Interior Laurent Nuñez (...) for the orders he has given for the use of these weapons which he knows are mutilating, which he knows are weapons of war, which he knows should not be used in maintaining order," said lawyer Arié Alimi at a press conference in Paris. #Manifestations #Justice #ViolencesPolicières (translated)

Impact reported that the trial of Halima El Bakhti, 72, and Ahmed Touloub, 74, opened in Blois on November 2, 2026, nearly 40 years after the discovery of Inass Touloub's body at the side of the A10. The mother was being tried for acts of torture and barbarity resulting in death without intent to cause it, and the father for complicity. According to Impact, both faced life imprisonment. The six siblings of the little girl had joined the proceedings as civil parties. The account stated that the body of the 4-year-old child was found on August 11, 1987, near Suèvres, in Loir-et-Cher. Her identity remained unknown for nearly 30 years. An DNA match of over 99.9% with traces found on the blanket that had wrapped the body had led investigators to her family in 2017, wrote Impact. According to the account, the father admitted to abandoning the body with his wife before continuing their journey to Morocco. He reportedly said that he found his daughter dead the day before and chose not to notify the police. The mother initially claimed that Inass was living in Morocco, then admitted to having hit her, while contesting the bites and burns. Both parents disputed their responsibility in the fatal violence. Impact also reported that, on November 4, forensic doctor Pauline Saint-Martin described to the court injuries inflicted over several months. After photographs of the autopsy were shown, the mother fainted and the hearing was suspended. The trial was still ongoing, according to the account. #JusticePourInass #AffaireInass #EnfanceVictime (translated)

Press Briefs described a rally organized on October 17 as massive, but marked by violence. The report stated that the Ministry of the Interior counted 550,000 demonstrators, compared to up to 800,000 according to the organizers, and that intelligence services had underestimated the size of the gathering by five to eight times. It compared the official figure to the 282,710 participants recorded during the record of the Yellow Vests on November 17, 2018. The report mentioned looting and damage in Paris, Lyon, and Marseille, as well as clashes near the Élysée. It also reported that a 17-year-old girl lost an eye in Mulhouse, where an investigation by the IGPN was opened, and that a 17-year-old boy had his hand severed in Saint-Étienne. In Paris, according to Press Briefs, a video showed a person on the ground being beaten by more than twenty police officers, while a protester died on Boulevard Magenta; the prefecture mentioned a cardiac arrest. Press Briefs criticized the media coverage of the rally and relayed several political statements. The report noted that Marion Maréchal Le Pen refused to distinguish between the vandals and peaceful demonstrators, that Éric Ciotti called the unrest an "intifada," and that François-Xavier Bellamy called for the imprisonment of Philippe Poutou. It also highlighted comments from Prisca Thévenot about Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his remarks about Sébastien Lecornu, who called on the French to choose their side between the law enforcement and the Republic. The report further indicated that the mayor of Marseille, Benoît Payan, denied the figure of 30,000 looters, and that an AI-generated image, presented as showing an elderly couple being robbed in Paris, had garnered nearly six million views on X. Finally, it reported that Laurent Nuñez had submitted his resignation to Emmanuel Macron, who had refused it. #France #Mobilisation #Violences (translated)

Alice Cordier wrote that Bally Bagayoko abstained during a vote against excision and female genital mutilation. She indicated that, according to her, 13% of women giving birth in Saint-Denis had been excised, and she blamed the mayor for not caring about it. #Excision #MutilationsSexuelles #DroitsDesFemmes (translated)

Bally Bagayoko explained that his group abstained during the vote on a wish presented by the opposition elected officials from the Socialist, Environmentalists, and Citizens group at the municipal council. The text focused on the protection of girls and women against excision and female genital mutilation, as well as the adoption of a comprehensive law against sexist and sexual violence (SSV). He said that his group supported the fight against mutilations and reminded that nearly 500 patients received follow-up each year in the municipality. He also praised the work of the Women's House, Delafontaine Hospital, and various associations, and asked the State to strengthen the resources allocated for prevention and medical follow-up. According to Bally Bagayoko, the abstention concerned the request to quickly adopt the law on SSV. He indicated that the bill had been significantly amended in committee at the National Assembly the week of the municipal council, and its content remained uncertain. His group had asked to remove references to this law from the wish in order to be able to vote in favor of the text on the fight against excision, but the opposition had refused, he wrote. He believed that this refusal had hindered the pursuit of an agreement and denounced a political instrumentalization of the issue. The group ultimately abstained in order not to block the wish, which was adopted, while not supporting all of its content, he noted. #Excision #DroitsDesFemmes #LutteContreLesViolences (translated)

Bally Bagayoko explained that his group, the majority "Together Let's Find Hope," abstained during the municipal council on September 24, 2026, on a wish put forward by the Socialist, Ecologist, and Citizen group against female genital mutilation and excision. He stated that his group supported the measures in the text against excision, notably the strengthening of state resources for school medicine, medical follow-up, and prevention. He also reminded that nearly 500 patients were followed each year in the municipality and praised the work of the Women's House, Delafontaine Hospital, and various associations. According to him, his group had requested the withdrawal of the wish's calls for the rapid adoption of a comprehensive law against gender-based and sexual violence (GBSV), as the bill had been significantly amended in committee at the National Assembly during the week of the council and still needed further amendments. Bagayoko stated that his group could therefore not support a text whose final content was uncertain and on which they had reservations. He added that the opposition elected officials still present had refused the proposed amendments, while most had left the session before its conclusion. His group had abstained, he specified, while allowing the wish to be adopted. He finally affirmed that his determination to fight against excision in the municipality and beyond remained unwavering. #Excision #DroitsDesFemmes #LutteContreLesMutilations (translated)
