Adnane Nassih
Adnane Nassih, 19, lost his right eye after a police officer shot him with a flashball gun in Essonne, France.
Adnane Nassih was walking a street on February 22, 2020, when a police officer shot him. The officer later said he had done it to defended himself as Nassih had made a sudden movement and had thrown something at him. Nassih was seriously injured after the shot. Several bones in his face were fractured and his right eye burst and was enucleated.
On May 4, 2021, Liberation published an investigation in which video from the scene was modeled in 3D. The model shows a police officer who points his gun at Nassih when he gets scared and tries to run away from the officer. It means that Nassih did not pose a threat to the police officer.
On February 28, 2021, the officer was charged with “willful violence and mutilation.” Nassih is awaiting for a trial.
