Seydi Ba advised individuals who suffered police violence the day before to file a complaint at the police station of their choice. He stated that the station must accept the complaint under Article 15-3 of the Criminal Procedure Code, and recommended immediately requesting a requisition for a medico-judicial unit to have the ITT assessed, with the option of being accompanied by a lawyer. He also recommended sending a written complaint to the public prosecutor, accompanied by videos and a detailed description of the facts, including timings, actions, visible identifiers, and witnesses. He urged witnesses to also write to the prosecutor, attaching their videos, their dated and signed account, as well as a copy of their identification. Seydi Ba finally recommended contacting the IGPN or the IGGN if it involved gendarmes, as well as the Defender of Rights, and to keep medical certificates, photos, clothing, and contact details of witnesses. He suggested contacting the Bar Association, the CAJ Collective, or the Antiracist Legal Team for assistance, and called for not allowing police violence to go unchallenged. #ViolencesPolicières #DroitsHumains #Justice (translated)

Press Briefs reported nearly 7,000 police custody cases, 86% of which involved minors, and indicated that the majority had not led to legal proceedings at this stage. The account described these arrests as a massive and unprecedented measure aimed at containing the mobilization of young people. Several cited observers viewed this as a form of intimidation, while Press Briefs believed this practice infringed on the right to protest and risked normalizing disproportionate police and judicial responses. The account added that the preventive use of police custody had already been documented during the Yellow Vests movement. Relying on independent press articles, Press Briefs relayed testimonies from high school students reporting violent detention conditions, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, forced undressings, and physical or psychological violence. A 15-year-old reportedly recounted being slammed against a concrete bed and hit on the head by police and then insulted. A complaint had been filed, according to the account, which also indicated that the police prefecture had not responded to Mediapart's questions about the reported statements. Mohammed, a 16-year-old high school student in Saint-Denis, reportedly stated that police had hit the bars of his cell during the night to wake up the detainees and had targeted him with a racist insult. The mother of Noham, also 16, claimed that her son had been hit in the liver and face after asking why he had been arrested. Adam's mother also denounced violence against young protesters. Press Briefs added that several teenage girls and boys reported sexist and racist remarks from police, and complaints had been filed. Anne Savinel-Barras, president of Amnesty International France, expressed her concern over the repression of the student movement, believing that the young people's demands for education and health were met with prohibitions on demonstrations and disproportionate police violence. The NGO stated that it would support people peacefully protesting and defend the right to demonstrate. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights also expressed concern about the situation in France and notably called for a proportional use of force. #jeunesse #manifestation #répression (translated)
