Lethal in Disguise 2 contains updated descriptions, case studies and fact sheets on #kineticimpactprojectiles (KIPs) - #chemicalirritants - #watercannons - #disorientationdevices - #acousticweapons and batons.
Other devices such as #drones - #electricshockweapons aka #tasers - #heatrays - #blindinglasers are also analysed in order to understand their mechanisms, deployment and potential effects.
In the Lethal in Disguise project, the International Network of Civil Liberties Organizations (INCLO) and Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) in collaboration with Omega Research Foundation dissect the health and human rights impacts of crowd-control weapons used against protesters worldwide.
Colleagues @humanrightswatch report that #police "used apparently excessive force" to disperse people #protesting the #APEC summit in #Thailand. Police used #batons and #KineticImpactProjectiles to disperse the #protesters, injuring one protester in the eye.

#LessLethal projectiles should *never* be aimed at the head because of the likelihood of severe, life-changing injuries such as this.
