巴黎/阿让特伊,法国,10月10日 — — 14岁的伊登在上周法国学生抗议期间,被一名警察近距离投掷的催泪瓦斯罐击中,导致下颌骨折和多颗牙齿严重碎裂,其父母及家庭律师透露。
PARIS/ARGENTEUIL, France, Oct 10 - Fourteen-year-old Eden suffered a broken jaw and multiple smashed teeth when he was struck by a tear gas canister directed towards him at close range by a police officer last week during student protests in France, his parents and family lawyer said.
该律师称,事发时伊登正坐在圣奥恩-洛莫恩城墙上低头看手机,距离抗议现场有几米远。一名警官走近他并用警棍击打他,促使伊登用脚踢回应,据当地检察官称。随后,另一名警官使用Cougar型发射器发射了一枚催泪瓦斯弹,击中了他的面部。
The teenager had been sitting on a wall looking at his phone metres away from the protest in Saint-Ouen-l'Aumone, the lawyer said. An officer approached him and struck him with a baton, prompting Eden to respond with a kick, according to the local prosecutor. A second officer then fired a tear gas grenade with a Cougar launcher, hitting him in the face.
“(警官)朝他的嘴开枪,让他倒在地上,甚至没有呼叫急救服务,”律师埃尔莎·马塞尔说。该家庭要求隐瞒伊登的第二名以保护隐私,马塞尔表示他们已提出谋杀未遂的控诉。
"(The officer) shot him in the mouth and left him lying on the ground, without even calling the emergency services," said lawyer Elsa Marcel. The family, who asked for Eden's second name to be withheld to protect their privacy, has filed a complaint for attempted murder, she said.
一名警察发言人表示,他们不对正在进行的调查发表评论。根据检察官办公室的说法,该警官称他在学生对峙警员后,是为了保护自己和同事。该警官于周二(即事件发生后八天)因涉嫌公职人员故意伤害导致永久残疾或毁容而被正式立案调查。
A police spokesperson said they do not comment on ongoing investigations. According to the prosecutor’s office, the police officer said that he was seeking to protect himself and his colleagues after the student confronted police. The officer was placed under formal investigation on charges of assault by a public official resulting in permanent disability or disfigurement on Tuesday, eight days after the incident.
此案是IGPN内部警察监督机构正在调查的24起案件之一,这些案件与持续超过两周的学生抗议浪潮有关,抗议内容涉及学校条件。法国总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科尔努将这些示威活动描述为数十年来最激烈的。
The case is one of 24 under investigation by the IGPN internal police watchdog linked to the policing of a more-than-two-week-long wave of student unrest over conditions in schools. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has described the demonstrations as the most violent in decades.
警方的应对行动 renewed了要求撤销使用橡皮子弹和榴弹发射器的呼声,这些武器在许多其他欧洲国家的警察中并未使用,近年来一直受到包括大赦国际和联合国人权专家在内的权利组织反复批评,被认为危险且不成比例。
The police response has renewed calls for the withdrawal of the use of rubber bullets and grenade launchers, which are not used by police in many other European countries and have been repeatedly criticised in recent years by rights groups, including Amnesty International and UN human rights experts, as dangerous and disproportionate.
它还激起了公众的愤怒,助长了对抗议运动的支持,而这一运动是2027年选举前公众对埃马纽埃尔·马克龙总统政府深层不满的最新表现。
It has also sparked anger among the public and fanned support for a protest movement that is the latest manifestation of deep-seated discontent with President Emmanuel Macron’s government ahead of a 2027 election.
通过采访和审查法律文件,路透社记录了28起因警察使用武力导致受伤的案例,其中15起正在IGPN调查之中。这些案件涉及使用橡皮子弹、震撼弹、催泪瓦斯、警棍以及骑马冲锋。
Via interviews and reviews of legal documents, Reuters has documented 28 cases of injuries suffered due to police force, of which 15 are among those under investigation by the IGPN. They involve the use of rubber bullets, stun grenades, tear gas, batons and charges on horseback.
在两起案例中,有人因橡皮子弹导致眼睛丧失或受伤。另一起案例中,朗斯的一名15岁少年手被炸断——据内政部长洛朗·努内斯称,这很可能是由震撼弹造成的,他已暂停使用震撼弹,待对此案进行调查。
In two cases, a person's eye has been lost or injured due to rubber bullets. In another, a 15-year-old in Lens had his hand blown off — likely by a stun grenade, according to interior minister Laurent Nunez, who paused the use of stun grenades pending an investigation into the case.
努内斯周三在一次广播采访中表示,大约有200名学生受伤,但警察行动导致的伤害非常罕见。“我们的首要职责当然是保护高中生,”他说。
Nunez said on Wednesday in a radio interview that about 200 students had been injured, but that it was very rarely the result of police action. “Our primary role is, of course, to protect high school students,” he said.
当局表示,700名警察也受伤,学校被焚毁或洗劫,教师和公众成员遭到袭击。警方已逮捕6877人,其中大多数是未成年人。
Authorities said that 700 police officers have also been injured, schools have been burned or ransacked, and teachers and members of the public have been attacked. The police have arrested 6,877 people, mostly minors.
“法国在武器使用和受害者人数方面是个异常值——我们在12天内出现了四起不可逆转的伤害,且受害者均为未成年人,”法国国家科学研究中心警务研究员塞巴斯蒂安·罗什说。“这在法国当代史上是前所未有的水平,”他说。禁止“非致命”武器的呼声罗什表示,法国在欧洲使用诸如橡皮子弹和震撼弹等“非致命”武器方面与众不同。这些武器在英国、意大利和德国(汉堡除外)通常不用于维持公共秩序的警务工作,尽管西班牙允许使用,但造成的伤害远少于法国,罗什如是说。
“France is an anomaly in terms of its use of arms and the number of victims — we have four irreversible injuries in the space of 12 days, and they are minors,” said Sebastian Roche, researcher on policing at the French National Centre for Scientific Research. “It is a level that is unknown in (France’s) contemporary history,” he said. CALLS TO BAN 'LESS LETHAL' WEAPONS Roche said that France stands out in Europe for its use of "less lethal" weapons such as rubber bullets and stun grenades. Such weapons are generally not used for public order policing in Britain, Italy and Germany, aside from Hamburg, and although permitted in Spain, have caused fewer injuries than in France, said Roche.
在巴黎郊区阿让特伊,一名16岁的学生在发现学校关闭后回家途中被警察开枪击中,导致左眼受伤,可能永久性损伤,其律师索菲亚·克尔巴阿向路透社透露。她补充说,目前尚不清楚他是被橡皮子弹击中还是其他物体。路透社观看的一段视频显示,该男孩的眼睛正在流血。
In the Paris suburb of Argenteuil, a 16-year-old student on his way home after finding his school closed was shot by police, injuring his left eye, which may be permanently damaged, his lawyer Sophia Kerbaa told Reuters. It is not clear if he was hit by a rubber bullet or something else, she added. A video viewed by Reuters showed the boy bleeding from his eye.
“他当时在错误的时间出现在了错误的地方……他受伤了,正处于震惊状态,”克尔巴阿说。
“He was in the wrong place at the wrong time ... he is injured and in shock,” Kerbaa said.
负责调查此案的检察官表示,根据警方的说法,受伤学生“似乎符合”两名向警察投掷烟花的年轻人之一的特征,而警察当时使用了橡皮子弹进行回应。内政部未对此案或伊登的案件作出回应。
The prosecutor investigating the case said that, according to the police account, the injured student “seemed to correspond” to one of two young people who had directed fireworks at police officers, who responded with rubber bullets. The interior ministry did not respond to questions on the case, or that of Eden.
人权倡导者,包括大赦国际,以及一些政客呼吁永久禁止使用“非致命性”武器,而警察工会则表示,警察需要这些武器来在暴力情况下维持秩序并确保自身安全。
Human rights advocates, including Amnesty International, and some politicians have called for “less lethal” weapons to be banned permanently, while police unions say the police need these weapons to enforce order in violent situations and to ensure their own security.
“我们必须停止使用橡皮子弹……并致力于实现零学生受伤。只有这样才能缓和局势,”左翼政党法国不屈的市长巴利·巴亚戈科告诉路透社。巴亚戈科参加了他在圣但尼镇的抗议活动,称他希望保护年轻人免受警察伤害。
“We must withdraw the use of rubber bullets and ... aim for zero injured students. That will allow us to de-escalate,” Mayor Bally Bagayoko of the left-wing France Unbowed party told Reuters. Bagayoko joined the protests in his town Saint-Denis, saying he wanted to protect young people from the police.
警察工会代表蒂埃里·克莱尔表示,埃登这样的严重伤害,或另一个孩子失去手臂,都是悲剧,但不应因此质疑法国的警务技巧。他说,问题实际上源于一些年轻人制造的暴力冲突的强度,他们挑起了紧张局势。
Thierry Clair, a police union representative, said that serious injuries such as Eden’s, or another child losing his hand, were tragedies, but should not call into question France’s policing techniques. He said the problem came instead from the intensity of the violence being committed by some young people who stoked tensions.
“当人们走向对峙时,我们该如何应对?如果我们取消中等强度的武力选项,我们只能剩下致命武力,”克莱尔对路透社说。“这根本无法想象。”路透社
“How do we respond when people are moving towards confrontation? If we remove intermediate force options, all we are left with is lethal force,” Clair told Reuters. “That is simply inconceivable.”REUTERS
