Zyed Benna and Bouna Traoré died by electrocution in an electrical substation in Clichy-sous-Bois after fleeing a police operation; Muhittin Altun survived with severe burns. Their deaths became the immediate trigger for weeks of unrest that spread through working-class suburbs and other towns. Rather than treating the events as inexplicable disorder, this record situates them amid long-running grievances over racial discrimination, policing, unemployment, housing segregation and the unequal treatment of residents with African and North African family histories. Participants were diverse and the unrest did not have a single organization or platform.
