Several lawyers plan to take the matter to the Court of Justice of the Republic against Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez, after the injuries inflicted on demonstrators

Several lawyers announce that they will seize, on behalf of their clients, the Court of Justice of the Republic (CJR) against the Minister of the Interior, Laurent Nuñez, Friday November 6. They criticize him for the orders passed during the high school mobilization and the days of social movement since October 17, in particular concerning the use of intermediate weapons in the context of maintaining order, such as grenades or LBDs.

The Minister of the Interior "knows what damage will be caused" by using these "mutilating weapons", said Arié Alimi, one of the lawyers, who represents several victims of serious injuries during the demonstrations and blockades organized since the end of September. “There is an obvious intention on the part of Laurent Nunez,” he declared during this press conference in the premises of the Human Rights League in Paris, which franceinfo attended.

The qualifications submitted in the complaint, which will follow a specific procedure within the CJR, are multiple: endangering the lives of others, intentional violence leading to mutilation or death, and attempted murder, "because these weapons can kill", explains Arié Alimi, who claims an approach is "solemn, important, collective".

The lawyers specify that they must obtain the consent of their clients before filing a complaint for complicity by instigation against Laurent Nuñez. “We are going to give ourselves 15 days to three weeks to finalize all of this,” specifies Arié Alimi.
