A march for Adama Traoré prohibited in Val-d’Oise. In the context of the riots, the prefecture of Val-d’Oise announced, on Thursday evening, the ban on the march scheduled for Saturday for the seven years of the death of Adama Traoré. This 24-year-old black man died during an arrest in 2016 and was erected as an emblem of police violence. The Adama committee, led by his sister Assa Traoré, immediately indicated to AFP its intention to file an interim order to challenge this ban before the administrative justice.
