According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency quoting “De Presse”, after an 18-year-old youth was killed in a police operation near Paris, dozens of youths attacked a police station late Sunday evening with incendiary materials and Molotov cocktails. BFMTV television and Le Parisien newspaper reported that trash cans were also set on fire during the attack on a police station in the suburb of Lacourneau. Based on this, police forces gathered from the surrounding areas to end the conflicts and violence.

According to media reports, six people were killed during these conflicts And the violence was arrested. It is said that calls for revenge for the death of this young man have been published on social networks.

In the neighboring town of Aubervilliers, an 18-year-old man riding a scooter On Wednesday evening, he collided with a police car and was seriously injured. This teenager and a passenger did not pay attention to the red light and stop signs of the police car at first. The officers had to move to the opposite lane and collided with the scooter. While the police chief of Paris has so far not seen any reason to doubt the police forces in this operation, the relatives of this 18-year-old young man accuse the police of intentionality.

“Reza Belhaj”, the spokesperson of the police unit, said about the attack on the police station: “This attack was planned in advance and all anti-crime units of Paris and Saint-Denis were mobilized.

After the death of Vanis, two investigation processes have been started, one was assigned to the judicial investigation of the accident department due to refusal to stop the police, and the other was assigned to the General Inspectorate of the country’s police due to unintentional murder and unintentional injuries.

This case is reminiscent of the death of a 17-year-old black youth during a police search near Paris early last summer. This was followed by demonstrations against police brutality and serious riots that rocked France on successive nights and caused millions in damage. At that time, there were frequent looting, arson and violent clashes with the police. The government then threatened to take tougher measures against young offenders and their parents. Police brutality, however, has not been much discussed by the government since the riots.
