While she calls for a march in tribute to her husband Cédric Chouviat, who died on January 3, 2020 after a ventral tackle by the police, Doria Chouviat proclaims at the microphone of Europe 1 her opposition to the "global security" law, which provides to supervise the dissemination of images of the police.

TESTIMONY

A year ago, the video of his violent arrest toured social networks.

Cédric Chouviat, scooter delivery man, died on January 3, 2020 after a ventral tackle carried out by the police.

A year after the tragedy, three officials are still indicted for manslaughter.

Doria Chouviat, Cédric Chouviat's widow, calls for a silent march in tribute to her husband on Sunday afternoon.

"We try to make his death a good cause because we know that nothing will bring him back," she explains to Europe 1.

"We are here to say no to the 'global security' law"

"We must not forget. We must learn from what happened. The Cédric case is emblematic because it is complete. We have a practical case on the excesses of the police We have a practical case of the importance of videos, of the importance of witnesses, "says Doria Chouviat.

"We are here to say that it is not normal, and we are here to say no to the law 'global security' because it comes behind this flagrante delicto to prohibit filming the police", wants to denounce this widow.

Passed on November 24 by the National Assembly, the "comprehensive security" law must still be examined by senators in January.

Widely criticized, its article 24 condemns one year in prison and a fine of 45,000 euros the dissemination of "the image of the face or any other element of identification" of a gendarme or a police officer in operation, if this dissemination aims to achieve "the physical or mental integrity" of the latter.

On November 30, Christophe Castaner, president of the LREM group in the National Assembly, announced "a complete new writing of article 24", despite its first adoption by the deputies.

“We cannot accept this law!” Insists Doria Chouviat.

"In our misfortune, as we have said from the beginning, the only chance we had were these videos. You imagine if we did not have these videos, it would be a double penalty for us: the penalty of having lost the person we loved the most, and the fact of not being able to do him justice, "she concludes, still at the microphone of Europe 1.
