No march for Adama Traoré in Val-d’Oise, and no Parisian gathering either. An order will be taken on Saturday morning to ban the demonstration announced Friday by the sister of Adama Traoré, said the police headquarters.
This rally, scheduled for Place de la République at 3 p.m., was launched by the Committee for Adama after the announcement by the Val-d’Oise prefecture to ban an annual march between Persan and Beaumont-sur-Oise, in memory of the young man who died in July 2016. This was banned due to the context of tensions after the death of Nahel on June 27 in Nanterre.
“Mourning and anger” marches planned throughout France
At the same time, around thirty marches of “mourning and anger” against police violence are planned in France from Lille to Marseille and from Nantes to Angoulême. Some marches will also start in the morning, such as in Saint-Nazaire or Strasbourg. Nearly a hundred associations, unions and political parties classified on the left, including LFI, EELV, CGT and Solidaires, called for a march to denounce policies deemed “discriminatory” against working-class neighborhoods.
These organizations mobilized “for the maintenance of public and individual freedoms”, demand “an in-depth reform of the police, of their intervention techniques and of their armament”. Nahel’s death and the urban violence that followed cast a harsh light on the ills of French society, from the difficulties of working-class neighborhoods to the stormy relations between young people and the police.
Since June 27, more than 3,700 people have been taken into custody in connection with these riots, including some 1,160 minors, according to figures from the Chancellery, which reported on Friday nearly 400 incarcerations.
