Lawyers have announced their intention to file a complaint with the Court of Justice of the Republic (CJR) against Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez for the use of mutilating weapons during recent social mobilizations. They represent at least 18 injured individuals and claim that the minister knew these weapons were mutilating and should not be used in maintaining order. Laurent Nuñez responded by stating that he would be ready to respond to any complaint and that he was calm and confident, assuring that the use of force by police and gendarmes was within a legal and regulatory framework.
According to the lawyers, the number of serious injuries is particularly horrifying, with cases of hands being torn off and loss of the use of one eye. They denounce the use of war tools and call for a different approach to maintaining order and the prohibition of non-discriminatory war weapons.
