France accused of racism. Policemen keep black people most often

In the first always collective suit against France, six organizations, both French and international, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the Open Society Justice Initiative, request that the French authorities be found guilty of not preventing widespread cultural profiling. They claim that people of the blue race throughout France, especially young dark-skinned men, are routinely detained on the street, asked to show recognition papers and searched for no reason.

The UN Human Rights Committee expressed concern about the continuing identity checks due to race. In 2017, a French ombudsman stated that dark-skinned men were detained by police to control identity 20 times more than others. These checks were frequently to be carried out without a reason. In 2020, France's president, Emmanuel Macron, confirmed this problem in Brut's online media interview.

It started with Nahel.

This ruling came 3 months after extended protests and unrest in France, which broke out after the police shot a 17-year-old boy of Algerian origin, Nahel, in a bus halt close Paris in June. During protests involving the death of a boy, teenagers and young people of African origin reported that they were experiencing widespread police discrimination.

Nahel M., the only kid raised by Mounia's single mother, lived in Nanterre close Paris, reports French “Le Monde”. He was a lover of motorcycles and rap music. He even starred in the Mars rapper Jul's music video for Ragnar's song, which was released in May on YouTube," SkyNews reports. He attended Louis Bleriot advanced School in Suresnes, where he was educated as an electrician, although his attendance was low, says the BBC. Outside school, he worked casually as a food supplier.

The data of a teenager was to be in the police strategy for a long time. It's all by refusing to halt for control, and besides driving a car without a licence and with false licence plates.

A riot is just a pretext?

What is worth noting, Nahela's grandma called for the end of the riots in the country. In her opinion, it was just an excuse to destruct the public good, as she announced in a conversation with BFM tv station. “They usage Nahel as an excuse,” she said. “Let them not break schools, let them not break buses. It is mothers who ride buses.”

Indeed, riots frequently seem to have the other effect. They have the top impact on the lives of the average inhabitants who have no influence on the ruling country and the police. The very situation with unwarranted detention of dark-skinned people has not improved so far.

Protesters clashed with police in Paris during nationwide demonstrations against police force and racism.
