Since the riots that shook the France after Nahel's death, immediate appearances have followed one another to try those arrested. Nearly 3,000 people have been arrested in just one week and the executive promises to pose a rapid and firm criminal response. In Bobigny, files are examined very late at night, even at night.

More than 3,000 people have been arrested in one week and the executive expresses its willingness to make a rapid and firm criminal response to the riots that occurred after the death of Nahel, killed by a police officer after a refusal to comply. Immediate appearances follow one another, especially at the Bobigny court where cases are examined sometimes very late at night, even at night. For the occasion, Europe 1 followed a hearing this afternoon. One observation: severity was required.

"It's the same rate for everyone"

Leaving a courtroom, a somewhat disillusioned lawyer declares: "No one takes less than six months in prison". This lawyer has just defended a 30-year-old man with a somewhat special situation since he is 80% psychomotor disabled. "He does not have all his head," confirms his parents at the microphone of Europe 1 waiting feverishly for the decision of the judges. This is the first time they have found themselves in this situation, their son has no criminal record. The 30-year-old man appears in court for a garbage can fire and his words are a little confused.

He says he did this for Nahel and also because he is disabled. But the public prosecutor believes that it is a somewhat basic defense. It requires twelve months' imprisonment, six of which are suspended. His lawyer insists on the fact that his client has a stable situation, that he has been recognized as a disabled worker for about ten years. "I am sorry," he also said feverishly in conclusion, but the judges retained the seriousness of the facts and sentenced him to six months in prison. "Where is the justice?" his mother shouts as she leaves the room. "It's the same rate for everyone," concludes his lawyer.
