The French government suspended the use of stun grenades in policing student protests. This action followed an incident in the northern city of Lens where a 15-year-old boy lost his hand during a clash with riot police. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez announced the suspension. The move comes amid scrutiny over police force during the ongoing protests.
