Man loses testicle in France pension protest crackdown: lawyer
France24 ^ | January 22, 2023

Paris (AFP) – 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.

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.

Lawyer Lucie Simon said she was filing a complaint on behalf of her client, a 26-year-old Franco-Spanish engineer who was taking pictures of the gathering, for "voluntary violence that led to mutilation by a person vested with public authority".

"It was such a strong blow that he had to have a testicle amputated," she said, adding that the engineer was still in hospital.

"This is not a case of self-defence or necessity. The proof is in the images we have and the fact that he was then not arrested."

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.

“Help me look for my lost testicle” never works.

The article is oddly worded and phrased, due to translation, but the
“bombs bursting in air” kind of pain still comes across clanging like a big brass bell!
