A police disciplinary board in France is reported to have recommended that two officers involved in the violent arrest of a young black man, who was allegedly sexually assaulted with a truncheon, be let off with a reprimand.

Theo Luhaka, who was 22 at the time of the attack, was left permanently disabled after suffering severe anal injuries from a police telescopic baton during a stop-and-search operation in a Paris suburb.
