Funeral held for teenager killed by police
The funeral of Nahel, the teenager killed in a fatal police shooting on Tuesday, has started in the Paris suburb of Nanterre where he lived.
A large crowd has gathered at the local cemetery and the atmosphere is tense, a reporter from Agence France-Presse observed.
One mourner said:
We aren’t part of the family and didn’t know Nahel but we were very moved by what has happened in our town. So we wanted to express our condolences.
A young man who declined to be named but said he was a friend of Nahel’s told Reuters:
If you have the wrong skin colour, the police are much more dangerous to you.
