法国媒体报道,法国检察官已就汽油弹在骚乱中被投向警方一事启动谋杀未遂调查。
Prosecutors in France have launched an attempted murder investigation after petrol bombs were thrown at police during unrest, French media reported.
周六,一名警察在巴黎与抗议者冲突时腿部着火的画面引发愤慨,此前法国已连续数周爆发街头抗议,示威者也有人受伤。
An image of a police officer with his leg on fire during a clash with protesters in Paris on Saturday has prompted outrage and follows weeks of street protests in France that have also seen demonstrators injured.
这名遭烧伤的警察脚踝烧伤、手部轻伤,他对法国《费加罗报》表示,这是一种“特别复杂”的燃烧装置。
The officer, who suffered burns to his ankle and minor injures to his hand, told French newspaper Le Figaro it was a "particularly sophisticated" incendiary device.
内政部长洛朗·努涅斯表示,向警方防线投掷燃烧瓶“是我所谓的谋杀未遂”,并补充说警方正在努力寻找肇事者。
Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said throwing a molotov cocktail at a police line was "what I call a murder attempt", adding officers were working to find the perpetrators.
周六,数十万人在法国各地示威,抗议活动基本保持和平,这是自9月下旬以来由年轻人发起的一系列抗议活动的最新一轮,要求当局采取行动应对高昂的生活成本和糟糕的公共服务,尤其是学校教育。
Hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated across France in largely peaceful protests on Saturday, the latest in a series of youth-led protests that began in late September demanding action on the high cost of living and poor public services, especially schools.
在之前发生冲突和抢劫之后,数千名警察周末在全国各地部署,在一些城市警察向示威者发射了催泪瓦斯。
Following previous clashes and looting, thousands of police officers were deployed across the country over the weekend, and officers fired tear gas at demonstrators in some cities.
法国内政部表示,周六共有770多人被捕,人数约为上周抗议活动的一半。
There were more than 770 arrests on Saturday, roughly half as many as the previous week's protests, the French interior ministry said.
但据法新社报道,警方称,针对那起被摄像机拍下、导致一名警察着火的袭击,目前无人被捕。
But police said no one had been arrested for the attack caught on camera that set a police officer on fire, AFP reported.
这名警察隶属于国家宪兵队,这是一支国家执法力量,名义上属于军队但受内政部管辖。他表示,他的部队“突然发现自己面对数百名装备精良、敌意十足的对手”。
The officer - part of the National Gendarmerie, a national law enforcement force that is technically part of the military but under the control of the interior ministry - said his unit "suddenly found ourselves facing several hundred hostile, well equipped adversaries".
他在接受法国《费加罗报》采访时表示,警方尚未确认所用液体的成分,但该燃烧装置“燃烧能力远超标准燃烧瓶”。
Speaking to French newspaper Le Figaro, he said police were yet to identify the liquid used but that the incendiary device "had a far greater burning capacity than a standard Molotov cocktail".
“我们面对的是敌对人员,而非抗议者,”他说。“这些对手意在伤害代表国家的人员。”他表示,另有14名警官受伤,伤情从轻微到严重不等,并补充说部分人被铺路石击中。他说,该部队原本应休假,但被紧急召回负责周末抗议活动的维安工作。
"We faced hostile individuals who are not protesters," he said. "These adversaries are there with the intent to harm those who represent the state." Fourteen other officers sustained wounds ranging from minor to serious, he said, adding some were struck by paving stones. The unit was supposed to be on leave but had been urgently recalled to police the weekend protests, he said.
法国抗议组织者“黄背心”表示,近期全国各地示威活动中,数十名抗议者受重伤,许多人是被“手榴弹”击伤。
French protest organisers, the Gilets Jaunes, or Yellow Vests, have said dozens of protesters have been seriously injured during recent demonstrations across the country, with many hurt by "grenades".
法国在10月初暂停使用一种型号的闪光手榴弹维持学生抗议活动秩序,此前一名15岁少年的手被炸断,但法国报纸《世界报》报道称,警方在随后的抗议活动中继续使用另一种型号。
France suspended the use of one type of stun grenade while policing student protests in early October after a 15-year-old's hand was blown off, but French newspaper Le Monde has reported that police have continued to use a different model in subsequent protests.
周末德国和意大利也爆发抗议活动,主要由青年主导的抗议持续在欧洲部分地区蔓延,诉求各异,但大体与关注生活成本问题和公共服务有关。
Protests also took place in Germany and Italy over the weekend as mainly youth-led protests continue across parts of Europe, with varying demands but broadly linked to a focus on cost-of-living issues and public services.
