At the end of the 18 March demonstration in Paris, riot police hospitalised French postal worker Cyril Ferez, who had been sitting peacefully in front of a police line. According to SUD, the militant trade union of whose postal and telecoms division he is a member, Ferez was “violently trampled by a load of the police force”, who then refused to administer first aid or call for medical help, despite the obviousness of his injuries. He is now in a coma and the forecast of his doctors is “serious”.
