After four nights of consecutive violence to the death of Aboubakar Fofana killed by a CRS during a check in Nantes, the lawyer of the family of the young man announced Saturday, July 7, that it was going to be a civil party. "The family will be civil party from Monday," said Agence France-Presse Loïc Bourgeois, lawyer of the mother and sister of Aboubakar Fofana, 22, from Garges-lès-Gonesse (Val d ' Oise). For now, "they want to be left alone, with their drama," he added.
The death of the young man provoked four nights of urban violence in the so-called "sensitive" neighborhoods of Nantes. The night from Friday to Saturday was however calmer than the previous ones, according to the police. There are thus 35 vehicles burned throughout the agglomeration, including Saint-Herblain, Orvault, Rezé and the neighborhoods of Nantes Breil and Bellevue. Mobile gendarmes and CRS wiped Molotov badtails at Breil and Bellevue and responded with tear gas grenades. A start of fire hit a building of social landlord Nantes Habitat in the Breil district. The police raised their device around 04:30 in the morning.
Before these incidents broke out, the officer responsible for the shooting had been released under judicial supervision, in accordance with the requisitions of Nantes prosecutor Pierre Sennès. He was indicted for "willful injury and injury resulting in death without intent to give". In custody, the brigadier-in-chief admitted to lying at his first free hearing where self-defense was mentioned. The CRS stated "that in fact he (it) tried to lean into the badpit of the vehicle driven by the youth to grab the steering wheel and try to stop the maneuver" of leak engaged in reverse by the driver, has told the prosecutor.
Police officer's version questioned
"It is at this point," he says, "in the context of what he calls a hand-to-hand combat, that the gunshot accidentally left to touch the driver, "added Pierre Sennès at his press conference on Friday. "It is not up to me (…) to arbitrate tonight between these different versions.I stick to the criminal characterization of the facts," added the prosecutor. Aboubakar Fofana, under an arrest warrant for "robbery, concealment and criminal conspiracy", was shot in the neck by the policeman on Tuesday around 20:30 . He died shortly after at the hospital.
"It is incomprehensible that the police officer is released" under judicial control, said Said, an badociation leader living in Breil. Even "misunderstanding" for the charge: "'Voluntary injury and injury resulting in death without intention to give', it kills without doing so on purpose.This is the Bisounours," he said. "How could it be an accidental shot when you took out your gun and triggered the security," he wondered, considering that the new version of the policeman is "a second lie". "We are collecting testimonies and no one has seen any alleged hand-to-hand combat.The policeman was standing, hands outstretched and banged," Said said.
Burning Libraries
"We will do what is necessary for the truth to break out," said Chris, 36, mediator and a "big" in the Breil district. "Anger is far from over and it will not stop until justice is done," he adds. "We will continue our work of conviction with those who have hesitation to testify" he badured. Since the beginning of urban violence, many public buildings were burned or degraded in the Nantes agglomeration, including town halls, houses of the inhabitants, high school, school, etc.
Saturday, the city de Nantes proposed to the inhabitants to give books to help to reconstitute the collections of the badociative libraries of the Dervallières and Malakoff, both burned during the week. "To this end, bins are set up in libraries and media libraries in Nantes to receive donations of books for the benefit of these two badociative libraries," said the town hall in a statement.
