France Suspends Stun Grenades During Student Protests After Teenager Loses Hand. The French government suspended stun grenades during student protests after a teenager lost his hand Monday. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez ordered the pause while investigators examine whether police caused the teenager's injury. More than 500 schools remained closed Wednesday as protests over education conditions continued across France nationwide. Students are demanding more teachers, safer school buildings, and improved learning conditions in public schools nationwide. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu promised proposals later this month but offered no immediate solutions to protesters. Rights groups and unions accuse police of excessive force, with 18 incidents now under official investigation. The unrest has lasted more than two weeks and exposed anger ahead of France's presidential election. Officials say school damage from fires and vandalism could cost up to €30 million to repair.
