Franco-Moroccan Women File Complaint After Violent Clash with Polisario Protesters in Paris

In a complaint filed with the Paris public prosecutor, these women, some of whom were accompanied by minor children, denounced these violent attacks. According to the plaintiffs, these individuals were dressed in military fatigues and carried bladed weapons, sticks and glass bottles.

"We witnessed and were victims of the magnitude of the violence inflicted on people who came to demonstrate peacefully and we assisted some victims in an atmosphere of general panic," they lament before adding that no one was spared from this beating.

"These Polisario militiamen hit everyone as evidenced by the videos circulating on social networks: young people, the elderly, women accompanied by minors and babies in strollers, trapped next to the fountain of the monument on the Place de la République," regret these women who want to prosecute the perpetrators of this "unheard-of violence". Gathered within this collective, they demand that the perpetrators be indicted by the French justice system.
