A French policeman dealt a man with a camera such a strong truncheon blow during pension reform protests this week that he had to have a testicle amputated, the man's lawyer said Sunday.
Protester clashes with police during a rally in Paris on January 19, 2023, as workers go on strike over the French President’s plan to raise the legal retirement age from 62 to 64. – A day of strikes and protests kicked off in France on January 19, set to disrupt transport and schooling across the country in a trial for the government as workers oppose a deeply unpopular pensions overhaul.
Images and footage from Thursday’s demonstrations circulating online shows a policeman hitting a man on the ground between the legs, and then leaving. The man is seen holding a camera. “It was such a strong blow that he had to have a testicle amputated,” she said, adding that the engineer was still in hospital.
The engineer, who lives on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, “is still in shock and keeps asking why” he was wounded, the lawyer added.
