The NGOs were accused, in a report after a series of testimonies, of “offensive and racist” controls.
Human Rights Watch is concerned about the fate of young blacks and Arabs in France. In a report published on Thursday, the non-governmental organization condemned that the French police “control violent and racist” people, often minors, according to numerous testimonies collected by the association.
This 44-page report on the practice of so-called “face control” has been carried out for more than a year with around a hundred young blacks and Arabs from several cities in France, and documents police checks “unfounded, targeting minorities, including children as young as 10, adolescents and adults”. According to the non-governmental organization for the protection of human rights, these controls often include “delicate physical assault and humiliation and searches of personal belongings”.
“He hit me all over the place,”
Thus, in Lille, Abdul (18) tells how a patrol of four policemen blocked the road during a check, so he went to karate training. “The agent returned my bag without warning and threw all my things on the ground. I really hate it, I asked him, ‘Why are you doing this?’ car, I spread her legs and she touched me everywhere – said the young man.

In Paris, Dabir, 15 years old, with his friends checked the states in front of the supermarket, during which the agents “hit the pockets of everyone, except (the) white boy”… They checked whether our phone was stolen or not. They asked us to turn it on and put a code. They asked us how old we were.”
“acute Lom and deep” with the population
For Bénédicte Jeannerod, director of France Human Rights Watch, this practice is at the center of “an acute and profound transition between the police and the population, while having almost no effect in terms of crime prevention or detection”. HRW calls on the president and Emmanuel Macron to reform the legal framework of police controls.

In a recent interview with AFP, human rights defender Jacques Toubon also believed that traceability of controls is necessary and possible, as demonstrated in the recent period of detention. The constant demand of left-wing parties and non-governmental organizations for the defense of human rights, and the promise of François Hollande when he was a candidate, a system with confirmation after each control was never established. Police unions oppose this.
