What the petition asks
Across social media and news outlets, there is evidence on tactics used by the French police which causes physical harm, including to peaceful protestors. Some of these protestors include students and journalists. The UK should condemn this violence.
Flashballs are used on protestors that can physically harm them, put them in comas and in some cases make them lose an eye.
