In the aftermath of the clashes that occurred near the mega-basins of Sainte-Soline, Saturday, March 25, the police deplore the throwing of projectiles of which they were the target. They are also accused of having hindered access to care for injured demonstrators. One of them is between life and death, Sunday evening.
From a vehicle targeted by the demonstrators, Saturday March 25 in Sainte-Soline (Deux-Sèvres), a gendarme is targeted by throwing stones, molotov cocktails and explosive devices. The agent takes refuge under the dashboard. Long hours of guerrilla warfare took place around the mega-basins of Sainte-Soline. Sunday morning, around the charred carcasses, the gendarmes raise the remains of projectiles.
The security forces reportedly prevented the injured from being treated
If the police have been targeted, they are also indicted. Did they hinder the care of the many wounded? This is what the organizers claim, while a demonstrator is still between life and death, Sunday evening. “This person, apparently, was injured when part of the procession arrived at the basin. […] Many tear gas canisters were fired.”, explains Léna Lazare, member of the collective “Les Uprisings of the Earth”. More than three hours would have passed between the first calls for help and his transfer by helicopter.
