The funeral of Nahel, 17, took place on Saturday July 1 at midday, at the Nanterre funeral home (Hauts-de-Seine). A ceremony then took place in the afternoon at the Ibn Badis mosque in the town, before the burial in the Mont Valérien cemetery.
According to AFP, many people had gathered at the end of the morning Saturday in front of the building for this ceremony wanted as intimate as possible by the family, far from the cameras. In a press release, Nahel’s family lawyers urged journalists not to be present at the funeral in order to avoid any “media interference”.
The teenager died on June 27 during a police check on the car he was driving. The 38-year-old policeman who fired the fatal shot was charged with intentional homicide and remanded in custody on June 29.
