The French prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into the death of a 27-year-old man who was hit by a rubber bullet during the riots in Paris. According to the authorities, the cause of the young man's death was a violent blow to the chest from a "flash-top" rubber bullet used by the police.
The media reports that rubber bullets are described as "less lethal" projectiles made of rubber or condensed foam that are fired during crowd control measures.
The blow to the chest led to cardiac arrest and sudden death late Sunday. Prosecutors said it was not possible to determine where the man was when he was shot or whether the victim had participated in the riot.
Investigations have also been opened for a 25-year-old man, who according to his relatives is in a coma after being hit in the head with plastic pieces on June 30 in Mont-Saint-Martin.
The prosecutor at the trial court of Val-de-Briey opened an investigation into the act of "intentional violence", which was entrusted to the general inspection of the national police (IGPN).
Meanwhile, we remember that protests and violence have started in France for days after the death of 17-year-old Nael M., who was shot and killed by the police on June 27 during a traffic control in the suburbs of Paris, Nanterre.
The incident sparked nationwide riots and revived accusations among the black and North African communities of systemic racism among security forces.
In connection with these riots, 3486 people have been arrested so far, 12202 vehicles and 1105 objects have been burned, while 209 units of the national police, gendarmerie or municipal police have been attacked.
