Protests raged at more than 1,200 French high schools last week, and police responded with tear gas and rubber bullets in some cases. More than 5,000 people were arrested, and some protesters were seriously hurt with eye injuries, broken teeth and blows to the head. NBC News' @richardengelnbc reports from Paris as protests continue.

This is not a student protest… this is orchestrated and organized by outside forces in Europe’s demise

‼️ Recent developments : _ The police are arbitrarily inspecting and censoring protesters' placards, restricting freedom of expression. _ Since late September, around 12 journalists covering the demonstrations have been assaulted by police forces. _ In certain territories, gatherings are "preventively" prohibited : this constitutes an infringement on democracy. _ On October 2, an official post on X by law enforcement published a list of 'items seized by police today on the margins of high school demonstrations, where violent individuals have infiltrated.' One of the photos shows three bottles reminiscent of Molotov cocktails. However, these are fabricated evidence created by the police themselves ! Indeed, written in black marker on the middle bottle, one can see 'vanilla calvados' (in fact, three vanilla pods are clearly visible in the liquid). The bottle on the left is made of clear glass and contains a blue liquid (curacao?). The third bottle is made of very thick glass (almost unbreakable — a gin bottle?). The State is lying to you and manipulating its public communications ! _ While hundreds of high schoolers have been injured over the past two weeks—including severe, documented cases of a student struck in the eye, another suffering an arm amputation from a grenade, and a young woman intentionally hit by a police car (with several other instances of police cars attempting to run over high school students documented) — the official claim of "761 injured police officers" repeated by the Minister of the Interior relies on no verifiable evidence. The credibility of such a figure is highly questionable given that unarmed, inexperienced minors were facing heavily equipped law enforcement ; notably, the only documented police injuries to date involve two officers hospitalized on October 10 after accidentally detonating a grenade inside their own vehicle (newspaper Le Progrès). _ INFORMATIONS : Fires and destroying are not from students but from black blocks and other extreme groups to make their mess. In the news reports, the explosions you hear are grenades thrown by the police at protesters (not fireworks), and the smoke is mostly from police tear gas grenades.

Police Violence in France Must Be Exposed Reports of police violence against students and protesters in France are deeply disturbing. The reported case of a young boy who lost a hand after picking up a grenade thrown by police is particularly shocking. In a democratic nation, people have the right to peaceful protest without fearing serious injury. The world must pay attention, and allegations of excessive force must be independently investigated. France must uphold human rights, protect its citizens and ensure accountability for police misconduct.❤️🇫🇷🇪🇺

I'm from Cambodia. i have been threatened, troubled, and harassed by a violent group of people who seem to be connected to the government. They hidden cameras in my room, monitored my phone, and shared my personal information with their group, which includes many people, including people from other countries. They continue to threaten and harass me in different ways. Some people seem to hate me intensely even though I don't even know them. Others laugh at me and treat what is happening to me like a joke. They have also driven cars dangerously close to me, almost hitting me, and then laughed as if it were funny. There have been many other incidents as wells It have another victim also but we can't do anything

‼️ Could you please cover more the alarming number of violent acts and excessive force by 'law enforcement' against protesters ?? Violences escalate because of police excessive violence back, never saw that in several decades... We are talking about lost eyes, smashed teeth and jaws, severed hands, and police vehicles driving into crowds trying to run down CHILDREN !! 😱 Fires and destroying are not from students but from black blocks and other extreme groups to make their mess... In the news reports, the explosions you hear are grenades thrown by the police at protesters (not fireworks), and the smoke is mostly from police tear gas grenades (not fires) ! The forceful repression of minors—who, for the vast majority, initially protest calmly and peacefully—shows that State repression is completely out of control ‼️
