Police response to European protesters
Several European countries have witnessed large-scale protests in recent days, during which police employed a variety of forceful measures, including tear gas, water cannons, rubber bullets, and crowd dispersal grenades. These actions resulted in numerous injuries and arrests, particularly among minors. In France, university and school protests saw an escalation in violence, with some incidents leading to limb amputations, and thousands of protesters were detained. Police also intervened forcefully in Albania for the first time by using rubber bullets. In Portugal, authorities forcibly dismantled protest camps, while in Belgium and Italy, police faced demonstrations against rising living costs and fee hikes. International human rights reports criticize the excessive use of force by security forces and emphasize the need to adhere to standards of proportionality and necessity when dealing with protesters.
