“Justice for Cédric” can be read on the white T-shirts worn by those close to Cédric Chouviat. Delivery man and father of five, the man died two days after a muscular arrest with police during an ordinary traffic check, January 3, 2020.
Half a thousand people gathered to pay tribute to Cédric Chouviat. Beyond emotion and meditation, several people raised their voices to denounce police violence. While the Paris Prosecutor's Office has opened a judicial investigation for "involuntary manslaughter", the family is claiming a reclassification of the facts as "willful violence resulting in death".
The family of Cédric Chouviat will be received on January 14 by Christophe Castaner, Minister of the Interior.
