  "summary": "A French court has sentenced a student, Rohan Rane, to 20 years for sexually torturing minors online. According to Le Monde English, Rane ran an online group focused on ultraviolence and sextortion, and his trial marks the first in France to address nihilistic violent extremism, a movement that originated in the United States.\n\nMeanwhile, student protests have been ongoing in France, with 24 investigations opened by the internal police watchdog, IGPN, into incidents linked to the protests. The police response has sparked controversy, with rights groups and UN experts criticizing the use of rubber bullets and launcher-fired riot-control weapons.\n\nOne incident during the protests has drawn particular attention, according to the Jerusalem Post. A 14-year-old boy, Eden, suffered a broken jaw and multiple smashed teeth when he was struck by a tear gas canister fired by a police officer at close range. The officer was placed under formal investigation on charges of assault.",
