Report: 119K people hurt by riot-control weapons since 2015

By ANDREW SELSKY

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — More
than 119,000 people have
been injured by tear gas
and other chemical ir-
ritants around the world
since 2015 and some 2,000
suffered injuries from “less
lethal” impact projectiles,
according to a report re-
leased Wednesday.
Physicians for Human Rights
and the International Net-
work of Civil Liberties Orga-
nizations, which produced
the report, called it “the
most comprehensive study
on crowd-control weap-
ons to date.”
The report on casualties
from a largely unregulated
industry cites an alarming
evolution of crowd-control
devices into more powerful
and indiscriminate designs
and deployment, includ-
ing dropping tear gas from
drones.
