The collective reported that doctors had diagnosed him with a cranial trauma, two 3 cm hematomas at the back of his skull, and multiple bruises, requiring ten additional days of care, and that the teenager remained deeply traumatized. It added that the video of the assault had been viewed millions of times and had sparked outrage even internationally. Regarding a man who died in Châtelet from Sunday night to Monday, Impact stated that the circumstances of his death remained unknown and that no link to police intervention had been established. The collective reported that Le Parisien had published a testimony from a woman mentioning numerous police charges in the area, without excluding a possible link to the death. Impact also recalled that Sébastien Lecornu had praised the absence of deaths during the violence of October 17, while the man had died the following night. Impact called on its readers to share the information and to call on Laurent Nuñez, Sébastien Lecornu, the police prefect of Paris, and the Paris public prosecutor's office to get answers regarding the three cases. The collective finally invited the public to send them testimonies, photos, and videos. #JusticePourTous #ViolencePolicière #Paris (translated)
