> A French police officer was charged Tuesday with violence after allegedly firing a tear gas grenade at close range at a 14-year-old student during last week’s high school protests. Amnesty International’s Fanny Gallois said serious injuries linked to so-called less-lethal weapons used in France are especially worrying, adding that the group has sought their ban for years.
