Video surveillance cameras captured the violent arrest of a 30-year-old Afghan man in April. It was then abandoned on an empty lot.
The scene has been described as “orange orange in uniform”. Two police officers were sentenced on Tuesday to appeal their prison sentences for the illegal and violent arrest of an Afghan refugee in Marseille. One was sentenced to three years in prison with two years fixed, and the other to 18 months in prison, of which one year will be in prison. before the Court of Appeal in Aix-en-Provence.
All three were found to be present in early May in Marseille; the first two were sentenced to four years and 18 months in prison. Imprisoned after the sentencing, they appeared before the appeals court in Aix-en-Provence on Tuesday. Two police officers who were banned from working in the police definitively, and the other for three years, however, were not kept in custody.
Video surveillance cameras captured the arrest of the muscular Jamshed, a 27-year-old resident permit holder from Afghanistan, on April 12 in the old port of Marseille. Afterwards, the young refugee was abandoned 30 miles away in the wasteland where he claims he was shot. “I was afraid I was going to lose my life there,” Jamshed said Tuesday, through an interpreter, accusing one of the officers of “moving him like a boxer.”

It is transported on an isolated lot
In a scathing indictment of law enforcement, Chief Counsel Thierry Villardo condemned the “arbitrary arrest” for the purpose of “private justice,” pointing to the “clockwork orange” on the uniform. “In this case, how can citizens have confidence in the police?” he began, before demanding sentences almost equal to the first-instance verdicts handed down for kidnapping and forced imprisonment, false and arbitrary violence against two of the most prominent police officers, who have never been convicted before.

Given the facts, police officers, acting under the supervision of the prison, intervened after passers-by became convinced that the young Afghan spat when they refused to give him a cigarette. He was thrown onto a police car after being hit in the arm and then put inside. Capt. Brigadier Michael Provenzano, 46, who received the most serious sentence on Tuesday, “is mad about it,” according to the security deputy who began handcuffing him. In question? The fingers of honor and insult that Jamshed launched.
The young refugee was then transferred to an isolated plot of land in Châteauneuf-les-Martigues, about thirty kilometers from Marseille. “We took him without knowing where,” Michael Provenzano said in court: “I’m out of my mind the whole way.” At the scene, the brigadier, who speaks of the “tunnel effect,” put away his sunglasses and his service weapon in his empty pockets: “I imagine I’m fighting,” he explained Tuesday.
“Serious Warning”
Behind the hill, the brigadier, “at the end”, says that he “removes the handcuffs, grabs him by the collar and shakes” the young Afghan, who would then receive at least a “slap”, it is stated. the driver, Matthew Coelho, who heard “cries from two sides”. “I’m not known as crazy on the field,” but that day, “I made a big mistake, I ran out of nails,” admitted Michel Provenzano, dark shirt and closed faces.
The police then prepared a false report showing that you left the young refugee at the police station. “A year on the farm for someone who was left “pressed” in case he couldn’t stop this is just very difficult,” said Me Liénard, the lawyer of driver Mathieu Coelho. “This is a serious warning to certain police officers who must stop this kind of practice from another time,” he added.

For me, Christopher Bass, general counsel for the Michael Provenzano board, this sentence is “just” because “it does not condense a man’s life into an hour of his life, it is a fair return to reality,” calling it in his oral decision in the first instance “a puff of repression “.
