FULL DISPATCH
🇫🇷 Amnesty International is accusing French police of using 'excessive force' against teenagers, after more than 3,000 arrests during the ongoing high-school protests. Amnesty admits some protesters have used “unacceptable” violence, but its statements focus heavily on the police response as French high schools deal with fires, attacks on officers, and even the burning of fire trucks.
