#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

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.

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. https://t.co/adEc7PyU4x

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

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.
