A-Infos (en) France, OCL: Protest: JUSTICE FOR EL HACEN, JUSTICE FOR ALL! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

See online: Platform of the SOLIDARITY MARCH 
https://www.antiracisme-solidarite.org/ Call to demonstrate Saturday, 
February 21 - 2:00 PM Barbès Metro Station: ON JANUARY 14, 2026, THE 
POLICE KILLED EL HACEN DIARRA ---- In front of his home, in the 20th 
arrondissement. Violently arrested. Strangled. The autopsy revealed a 
fractured thyroid cartilage, signs of strangulation. ---- Today, the 
police officers responsible are still patrolling our streets to 
intimidate residents, and the Minister of the Interior, Nuñez, has 
stated that he will not suspend the officers. Only our collective 
mobilization can bring about justice.

THE 20TH ARRONDISSEMENT: A ZONE OF POLICE IMPUNITY
This is not the first time the 20th arrondissement police have killed, 
maimed, raped, and humiliated:

In 2007, Lamine Dieng was suffocated in a police van, handcuffed with 
five officers on his back for 30 minutes. Like El Hacen, Lamine cried 
out that he couldn't breathe. The case was dismissed. No police officer 
was convicted!

Between 2019 and 2020, five women and a minor were sexually assaulted at 
the 20th arrondissement police station. While the officer was convicted, 
his sentence was reduced to electronic monitoring so he could "continue 
his work."

In 2023, Safyatou, Salif, and Ilan, aged 17, 13, and 14, were 
deliberately run over by a police car. Each of them was seriously 
injured and traumatized, their dreams for the future shattered. Three 
years later, still no justice. Impunity reigns supreme!

IN OUR MEMORIES AND IN OUR STRUGGLES
Their names were Moussa Bradai (2002), Zyed Benna and Bouna Traoré 
(2005), Lamine Dieng (2007), Hakim Ajimi (2008), Ali Ziri (2009), Wissam 
El-Yamni (2012), Amine Bentounsi (2012), Babacar Gueye (2015), Adama 
Traoré (2016), Shaoyao Liu (2017), Brahim Moussa (2018), Gaye Camara 
(2018), Sabri Choubi (2020), Souheil El Khalfaoui (2021), Boubacar and 
Fadjigui (2022), Nahel Merzouk (2023), Alhoussein Camara (2023), Sulivan 
(2024)... and so many others in France and in colonized territories.

From George Floyd to El Hacen Diarra, the cry remains the same: "I 
can't breathe." The same racist state violence. The same system of 
impunity that kills.

POLICE VIOLENCE, RACIST STATE
There are no "mistakes": it's a system that kills people of color, 
immigrants, and the most vulnerable. The police are an instrument of 
submission to the racist order: detentions to break our youth, fines to 
impoverish, violence to subjugate, racial profiling to humiliate, raids 
to deport.

This fight concerns us all, because a society that tolerates the injury 
and murder of our children, our friends, our cousins, and our brothers 
and sisters in the street or in a police station is a society where no 
one is safe.

We will NEVER be safe with a police force that kills, with a government 
that prioritizes lives based on origins and religions. We will NEVER be 
safe as long as impunity persists.

True security is justice, it is equal rights.

OUR DEMANDS:

1. IMMEDIATE JUSTICE: Indictment of the police officers involved in El 
Hacen's death, justice for Safyatou, Salif, and Ilan, and reopening of 
all cases dismissed without further action.

2. TRUTH AND TRANSPARENCY: Independent investigation under citizen 
oversight with publication of all evidence (videos, expert reports) and 
an end to the lie about "cameras being discharged."

3. SANCTIONS AND DISSOLUTION: Immediate suspension of officers involved 
in the violence, and dissolution of the violent units (BTC, BRAV-M, BAC).

4. END RACISM AND POLICE VIOLENCE: Ban on racial profiling and excessive 
fines, prone restraint and chokeholds, repeal of the "License to Kill" law.

5. EQUAL RIGHTS: Equal rights for residents of shelters: security, 
dignity, the same rights as all tenants * Regularization of all 
undocumented immigrants.

6. REPARATION AND SUPPORT: Recognition of the State's responsibility and 
financial, medical, and psychological support for victims and their 
families. Concrete commitments from all candidates in the municipal and 
presidential elections.

We refuse to forget. We refuse impunity. When one family wins, all 
families win!

-> Joint demonstration on February 21st in Barbès (Paris) and on March 
14th throughout France,
-> Pressure on all election candidates,
-> Attendance at hearings and trials to support the families,
-> Organization of support events to empower families to fight back,
-> Solidarity everywhere: let's protect our neighborhoods and monitor 
the police.

JUSTICE AND TRUTH FOR EL HACEN!
JUSTICE AND TRUTH FOR ALL VICTIMS!
EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL!
NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!

Justice and Truth Committee for El Hacen Diarra. With the support of El 
Hacen's family, the residents of the Muriers hostel, the Truth and 
Justice Committee for Safyatou, Salif, and Ilan, the Truth and Justice 
Committee for Lamine Dieng, the Truth and Justice Mutual Aid Network, 
the March of Solidarity, and the Collective for the Future of Hostels
