(Quebec) The opposition in the National Assembly asks the Independent Investigation Bureau (BEI) to examine the brutal arrest of a young black man on Saturday in Quebec.
The investigation by the Police Ethics Commissioner is not enough, according to opposition parties.
Recall that Pacifique Niyokwizera was violently overpowered by police officers from Quebec on Saturday night at the exit of a bar. The images captured by telephone circulated abundantly.
The Legault government has asked the Police Ethics Commissioner to investigate, but the Parti Québécois (PQ), Québec solidaire (QS) and the Liberal Party (PLQ) are all calling for an investigation by the Independent Investigation Bureau (BEI).
According to PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, it would be much more transparent and independent if the BEI could conduct its own investigation.
