A Silent March Brings Together Several Hundred People One Year After Nahel's Death In Nanterre
Mounia, the mother of Nahel, a 17-year-old who was shot in the chest by police at point-blank range in 2023, is addressing attendees as they are taking part in a rally in Nanterre, a western suburb of Paris, on June 29, 2024, organized in tribute to her son. Nahel was killed at the age of 17 on June 27, 2023, by a police officer at a checkpoint, in a case that provoked several days of rioting in the area close to the French capital and became a symbol of the fight against police violence.
