Riots of 2023 in France
On 27 June 2023, in Nanterre, a young man called Nahel Merzouk was killed by a policeman during a traffic stop. Very violent riots, unprecedented since the 2005 riots following the deaths of Zyed and Bouna, then took place in many French towns, including Nanterre, where the incident took place. Here are my images of these riots in the summer of 2023 in France.
Nadia, Nahel Merzouk's grandmother, came to lay flowers at the scene of the incident, during a white march held on 29 June, 2 days after the teenager's death.
