Politics‘My son was killed’: France faces backlash over proposed police firearms law

As protests continue across France, activists warn a proposed bill could deepen impunity by presuming that officers acted in self-defence when they used firearms on duty. Issam El Khalfaoui’s son Souhail was shot dead during a police traffic stop in Marseille in 2021. El Khalfaoui and advocacy groups oppose the measure, saying it would make police harder to hold accountable.
