The riots on the eve of the national holiday in the capital have an aftermath. According to LW information, and as already reported by Radio 100.7 on Monday, investigations were initiated against possible perpetrators because of resistance to state violence. On the other hand, the Inspection générale de la police checks whether there has been any misconduct on the part of the police.
The background to these investigations are severe facial injuries in a young man. According to unconfirmed information, he sustained multiple facial fractures and injuries to one eye.
An injured man on the ground
The “Luxemburger Wort” has six videos that are currently being distributed on social media showing individual scenes from Wednesday night in the old town. On one of the cell phone videos, which have since been copied many times and are therefore of poor quality, you can see police officers driving a crowd apart. In the 15-second clip, a policeman stands out who repeatedly hits people with a baton. The blows are clearly aimed at the upper arms of passers-by.
In another twelve-second clip, a man lies on the floor at the level of the fish market. His face is visibly smeared with blood. He lies on his back, wears a black jacket, a gray T-shirt with white writing and jeans. Several policemen stand behind him, tense. The scene is filmed up close. The video is labeled “Ça vas pas se passer comme ça”.
Difficult arrest
Two other videos, one of which is a cut, show the arrest of a young man in light blue trousers and a white tank top T-shirt right behind the grand ducal palace. The man defends himself violently. Several officers are needed to overpower the man. This video is distributed in particular on the social networks Snapchat and Tiktok together with information that may not apply at first glance.
