Yesterday, Sunday, the French authorities announced that four police officers who were arrested after they appeared in a video recording beating a black music producer in Paris before a judge, in a case that caused great shock in the country, and contributed to tens of thousands of massive mobilization against the “comprehensive security” bill. The police announced that about 60 of its officers were injured during the violence that witnessed the demonstrations.

Yesterday, Saturday, France witnessed acts of violence against the background of mass demonstrations in which more than 130,000 people participated, according to the police, while the organizers estimated the number of participants at 500,000.

The demonstrations began in French cities, amid a fraught atmosphere facing the government, which is facing a campaign in which journalists and human rights activists participate, in protest against the security bill, which prohibits the publication of pictures of police officers in certain circumstances. Music producer Michel Zeclair was severely beaten inside his studio by three policemen, before a fourth policeman fired tear gas inside the scene.

A second recording, published last Friday, showed Zeclair being beaten again on the street after being removed from the studio, despite the presence of a large number of police officers at the scene. Zeclair said he was repeatedly subjected to racial abuse and was described as a “dirty negro.” According to “Le Parisien” newspaper, the arrested police denied that Badr among them had any racist behavior.

Yesterday, Paris Attorney General Remi Hitz requested the temporary detention of three of the four policemen, and referred the file to an investigative judge, while he requested that the fourth policeman who fired the tear gas be placed under judicial supervision.

And an investigation was opened against them, last Tuesday, on suspicion of practicing “deliberate violence by a person holding public authority.”

This case reinforced the momentum of the campaign against the “comprehensive security” bill, which it considers “undermines freedom of the press and access to information.” The campaign considers that many cases of security violence would have remained unpunished had the cameras not been documented. The campaign strongly condemned the violence that was recorded in Paris and Lyon, especially the violence against police officers in Place Bastille. The government announced that about 60 police officers were injured during the violence.

According to the Ministry of Interior toll, 81 people were arrested due to the violence that occurred during the demonstrations. (AFP)
