#Ireland | 🇮🇪 I express my grave concern about the planned expansion of “less lethal” weapons by An Garda Síochána in #Ireland. Without robust safeguards, this raises significant human rights risks. 🔗 https://t.co/XfJAdq4YRj #FreedomOfAssembly #LessLethalWeapons #UseOfForce
Los Angeles police caused severe injuries by misusing #LessLethalWeapons during June #protests, according to @nytimes visual investigation. Sponge rounds were shot at the face and head of protesters who posed no physical threat to officers, in violation of police protocol (1/3)
The L.A.P.D.’s widespread use of less-lethal weapons on protesters in June was intended to limit injuries and deaths. But our analysis shows how officers misused the weapons, violating department protocol by shooting and severely injuring two protesters with 40-mm sponge rounds. https://t.co/h8q7kZMm6P
#LessLethalWeapons are still lethal. Photojournalist Julio García Romero died of tear gas inhalation in 2005 while covering a protest. The Inter-American Court's sentence on this case is expected to set a precedent on #LessLethalWeapon abuse by police. @CELS_Argentina @inredh1
CALL OF INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION!⚠️
Last night, acts of excessive use of force were carried out by the police in several protest act locations, including Semarang. The acts used unlawful usage of #LessLethalWeapons comprising baton beatings, water cannons, and tear gas.

1⃣ #LessLethalWeapons are still lethal. When used to threaten or punish demonstrators, they can cause permanent injuries and even death, as seen in the following cases:
🇧🇴#Bolivia, during the 2019 protests, 27 protesters died from less lethal weapons.
Four years ago, during the Anti-Extradition Treaty #protests in #HK, police escalated their #brutality against protestors and passer-by’s, dangerously using #teargas, #rubberbullets and other #lesslethalweapons
Today we remember and continue demanding #justice #rights #freedom
Delighted to be presenting both weapons and counter drones at the non lethal weapons symposium in Brussels today and tomorrow. This is a group of eminent scientists from around the globe. I talk to them about operational requirements and what we do in the uk. #lesslethalweapons
French authorities deployed drones at the May Day #protests where two journalists were injured by police use of #LessLethalWeapons. This unfolds only days after France was pinned at the UN Universal Periodic Review for police violence and profiling.

In this submission, we explain how, in 12 different countries, #LessLethalWeapons cause severe long-term mental and physical harm, and death. Lack of accountability also has a chilling effect on reporting cases of police abuse. #LethalinDisguise @CELS_Argentina @EIPR @pchikov
Protest Rights: In preparation for the next thematic report by UNSR @cvoule on state accountability for serious violations to the right of #PeacefulAssembly, 12 INCLO members prepared this submission on the ongoing impunity and abuse of #LessLethalWeapons https://t.co/gc6GrsWbxh
✍️🏾INCLO and its members @KHRC, @KontraS, @CELS_Argentina, @ACLU & @ICCLtweet were present to craft and endorse the declaration calling for a treaty on the trade of #ToolsofTorture and #LessLethalWeapons in order to end their use to intimidate, repress and punish protesters. (2/5)
🇺🇳In accordance with the UN Guidance on the use of #LessLethalWeapons and FIFA’s own regulation, #TearGas is not to be shot by police in stadiums. 3/4
🇮🇱 #Israel #Policing
Congratulationsto our colleagues @acri_online. The use of #LessLethalWeapons must be transparent to guarantee right to #protest and #accountability.
In a democratic society, it must be clear what is allowed and what isn't when it comes to using force to ensure that the police are held accountable and that people can exercise their basic rights to bodily integrity, life, freedom of speech, and protest.
"It would create new common-sense restrictions for the use of #lesslethalweapons for #crowdcontrol, including that their use is necessary to prevent serious injury. Police would have to publicly justify why their use was necessary" #AB48 https://t.co/aXmws0X1dA
Chief Constable D’Orsi, (@BTP) may have given us the zero matrix (if you know, you know) but tonight, she left work with one of these:
