'Justice for Théo' demonstration in Bobigny

← Back to Dashboard
📅 11 February 2017 📍 France

Young people and other residents gathered outside the Bobigny courthouse after Théo Luhaka was seriously injured during a police stop in Aulnay-sous-Bois. Protesters demanded justice and denounced police violence and racist abuse. The gathering was peaceful at first, but incidents occurred later; the event is recorded with that distinction rather than allowing clashes to erase the protest's stated grievance. The case connected a particular family's demand for accountability to wider concerns about identity checks and policing in working-class suburbs.
