According to a document that “Le Monde” was able to authenticate and that franceinfo consulted, officials from this unit attacked a group of people verbally and physically on Monday evening in Paris. The IGPN has been seized.
While voices are rising to demand the dissolution of the Brav-M, these highly criticized motorized brigades, police officers from these anti-breaker units threatened and intimidated a group of seven young people arrested on the sidelines of the demonstration against the pension reform, Monday in Paris, according to an audio recording that The world was able to authenticate and that franceinfo consulted on Friday March 24.
In this 23-minute audio, captured without the knowledge of the police by one of the people arrested, we hear officials (there are at least a dozen of them, according to a photo of the scene consulted by franceinfo) addressing these demonstrators grouped together and seated on the ground in a street in the 3rd arrondissement, the time to draw up the arrest reports, before their transfer to the police station. “What do you do for a living ?”asks one of the policemen to a “student”before commenting on his participation in the demonstration: “Have you ever worked and are you demonstrating against the pension reform?”
“Erase Your Smile”
To another, one of the policemen launches: “He laughs a lot. Tomorrow, you’re going to be brought before a judge, you’re going to laugh less.” This protester, the only black man in the group, specifies one of the arrested to franceinfo, is told that he has a “Sacred head to slaps anyway!” The police do not hesitate to make rude comments, greeted by the laughter of their colleagues: “Earlier, we arrived, you got hard inside…”
According to this young woman, who filed a complaint for violence in meetings, this boy was more particularly mistreated: he would have received a slap and his head would have been banged against the wall. We hear two noises that could correspond to this description, between the 6th and 7th minute of the document, accompanied by this injunction: “Erase your smile, erase your smile, erase your smile.” The policeman continues to pursue this young man:
– The policeman : “Take example from your friends! Do you close it or do you want me to start again? Ah, you’re starting to stutter, maybe you want one to get your jaw straight?
– The arrested: Above all, do not hesitate to say that there.
– Say that where?asks a policeman.
– Over therereplies the young man.
– There where?repeats the policeman.
– Over there ! Where are you going to take me?asks his interlocutor.
– At the police station? Me, I’m not going, only you are going. You know, I can come sleep with you if you want…
– Ah yes, well here we go, replies the young man.
– It’s the first one who has a hard-on who buggers the other”loose the policeman.
A second official gets involved: “When I caught you, you started shaking, I put the dustpan on you”. The first resumes: “S if you want to get back on the streets, work on your cardio, big guy. You crossed the street, you were slain.” A few seconds later, he adds: “Don’t worry, your little head, we already have a picture of it, you just have to show up in the street at the next demonstrations, I can tell you that the heads, we are really physio, we hold them back. T Don’t worry that the next time we come, you won’t get on the bus to go to the police station, you’ll get on another thing called an ambulance to go to the hospital.”
“We will take revenge on other people”
At one point, the order was given to the police to go to the Château-d’Eau sector (10th). “You” You’re lucky, we’re going to take revenge on other people, if you have the opportunity to watch TV, take a good look, you’ll see what awaits you when you come back”, threatens one of them to the address of the same young man. The insults and humiliating comments continue for another ten minutes. A policeman makes his colleagues laugh when he claims that one of the arrested “will go to ‘gardav’ and tomorrow he will come out with an OQTF”, implying that he would be expelled from France. At the end of the recording, we hear the sound of motorcycles moving away.
The prefect of police of Paris, Laurent Nunez, decided to seize the General Inspectorate of the national police, announced the police headquarters on Twitter.
