Quebec Student Shot in the Face With Tear Gas
Quebec Student Naomi Trudeau-Tremblay was shot Thursday in the face with part of a tear gas canister during a protest on Thursday.
Naomi’s family says it will press charges against a Quebec City police because of his actions.
“I was gasping for air… I lost consciousness,” said Trudeau-Tremblay, an 18-year-old CEGEP student.
Naomi was stunned by the actions of the officer who launched the tear gas directly at her. She says she did obtain the officers badge number.
Catherine Tremblay, Naomi’s mother said the family wants to pursue the matter in court.
The protest began following the release of the latest Quebec National Assembly provincial budget.
François Moisan of the Quebec City police said, “I will not comment on the video, because you see the first time they start to advance, and then they charge the policemen, and you know tear gas is used to avoid body-to-body confrontation and to disperse the protesters.” He said police would review the events of Thursday’s protest.
