A Rennes police officer, head of the Departmental Intervention Company, has been charged with assault on a union member, says the Telegram . The facts took place on March 31, 2016 in full mobilization against the Labor Law.
During a rather tense demonstration that day, a trade unionist from Sud Santé Social had been thrown to the ground during a police charge. The 60-year-old man then received several batons and kicks, as evidenced by an amateur video posted at the time on social networks.
Arrested with other demonstrators, the unionist had filed a complaint the next day. The General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN) had then opened an investigation, but the prosecution had closed the case without action. Through his lawyer, the trade unionist again lodged a complaint with a civil party. This led to the indictment of the Rennes police this fall, the daily said.
