Adil’s Uncle Pleads for Peace After Teen’s Death in Brussels Police Chase

"I am Adil’s uncle, may he rest in peace. I ask you to stop destroying everything, please. We are already not well, we are in mourning, in pain in our hearts. Please stop destroying everything, doing anything. For Adil’s memory, rather pray for him and let justice take its course." This is how he addressed the protesters on social media, particularly Snapchat. A message written in French and Arabic.

On Friday, Adil, a 19-year-old young man, died during a car chase. His scooter collided with a police car or was hit by a police car - remains to be proven. This accident occurred with a VIRTUS koban patrol in charge of enforcing the confinement measures.
