A Toulouse court convicted a police officer for intentional violence after journalist Kevin Figuier was injured while covering a Yellow Vest demonstration in April 2019. Politis reported the judgment and Figuier’s effort to obtain accountability. This legal milestone belongs to the aftermath of protest and press-freedom struggles, rather than to a new street action.
