Youth injured during protest

A 17-year-old girl suffered permanent vision loss in her left eye after an incident during a demonstration in the city on Saturday. The injury has raised concerns about the safety of participants in public protests.

Investigation launched

The incident has prompted the IGPN, the city’s investigative body, to assign a third investigation for the day of October 17. This follows previous probes into other incidents that occurred on the same day.

Public reaction

Local residents and advocacy groups have expressed concern over the circumstances surrounding the girl’s injury, calling for greater transparency and accountability from authorities. Some have demanded clearer guidelines for protest management.

Legal implications

The third investigation by the IGPN could lead to legal action against those responsible for the incident. It remains unclear who will be held accountable or what measures will be taken to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
