(franceinfo)
A silent march is planned for Saturday, June 29 in memory of Nahel, a young man shot dead during a police check in Nanterre a year ago. A call for reflection and a day to fight against police impunity.
Some flowers at the very place where Nahel died: the 17-year-old young man was killed by a police officer during a chase just a year ago. On June 27, 2023 in Nanterre, Nahel drives in a rental car on a bus lane. The police ask him to stop but the young man continues on his way and a chase begins. He finds himself in a square, where the police come up to him. According to them, Nahel restarts, a shot is fired.
The investigation continues. Last May, a judicial reenactment was organized in the city. The perpetrator of the shooting is indicted for intentional homicide. After five months in pre-trial detention, he is now free under judicial supervision. Nahel’s death caused riots throughout France.
