French U-turn to allow police chokeholds
By EUobserver
France has reversed plans to ban police chokeholds when arresting suspects. The decision came after protests from police unions, who said any such ban would put their lives at risk. France's interior minister Christophe Castaner had earlier announced the practice would be suspended following the death of George Floyd in the US. Castaner had said "the techniques known as 'the chokehold' should no longer be taught or used".
