My interview yesterday with UK Column where I highlight some of the most egregious elements of state-sanctioned violence against unarmed civilians on the streets of French cities since November 2018 when the Gilets Jaunes or Yellow Vests first began their anti-austerity peaceful protests.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am writing an article for 21st Century Wire on this subject which should be published later today but in the meantime here is an interim post that I published on Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Injured<\/a>

What is happening in France is shocking, every video I watch, every image I am confronted by is harder to bear. These are not “casseurs” or violent criminals, they are ordinary people from all walks of life, all ages, all backgrounds. They are putting themselves in the crosshairs of French police weapons because they have genuinely had enough. Yes, finally, Europe has reached the point of having “nothing to lose”.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have lived in France for 18 years, I understand this nation and I promise you, once ignited, this uprising is not going away anytime soon. The violence these ordinary people are being confronted by is terrifying but they are still pouring onto the streets. Every time they do so, they risk losing an eye, a hand, having their jaw broken, ribs broken, their faces scarred for life or ending up in an induced coma.<\/span><\/p>\n

The French Interior Minister, Christophe Castaner, has point blank denied the number of injuries among the Gilets Jaunes and has announced that the Police are only responding to violence against them. This is a lie.<\/span><\/p>\n
