Racist aggression or a simple accident?
While the photos of Anna, a schoolgirl seriously injured in the face during a fall in her college in Chambéry, ignite social networks, the mother's lawyer claims that she was pushed.
"Mom, I was pushed," said Me Fabien Ndoumou on BFMTV, citing remarks that the 11-year-old college girl made, according to her mother, after having been operated on in the hospital.
He thus supports the mother's version of a racist attack.
According to him, the young girl received "two blows" and was "scratched on a finger" by a comrade.
“As Anna was leaving to report to the manager, the others pushed her from behind and she stumbled on the steel bench” in the court, continued the lawyer.
The student, of Cameroonian origin, seriously injured his face when he fell in the courtyard of the private establishment, under contract with the National Education.
"Alone" at the time of her fall
His mother has since denounced an assault and filed a complaint. In a text that has gone viral on the internet, she writes that "since the start of the school year", her daughter "has suffered racist verbal violence and even physical" which would be at the origin of the facts. A version refuted "firmly" Sunday by the prosecutor of Chambéry, Pierre-Yves Michau. Referring to "several testimonies", he affirms that the teenager was "alone" in this part of the courtyard at the time of her fall.
"I do not know on what basis the prosecutor made this decision, the young Anna had not yet been auditioned", noted Tuesday Mr. Ndoumou, specifying that the schoolgirl must be heard Wednesday by the investigators. According to the prosecution, "when the mother came to file a complaint at the police station, she said she did not know if her daughter had fallen on her own or if she had been pushed, and she indicated that her daughter herself could not tell". The prosecution also indicated that "at this stage, there is no trace of any harassment at any time." The prosecutor said that the student had, on the other hand, been the subject of a complaint for "threats" against a comrade.
But during a rally of support, Sunday in Paris, the mother evoked an altercation occurred "two weeks ago" with a comrade, that her daughter would have hit after he had called her of "dirty negro". She also mentioned CCTV cameras whose images she could not have seen. The rectorate indicated that these cameras "do not record anything and are not used in real time". He added that he was "not informed at this stage" of possible acts of racism against the student.
“I don't care about visibility, I don't care about money, it does not restore health to my child.
This is not the kind of wound that we are going to repair, she will keep it for life, ”said the mother on Sunday in Paris.
Since then, the affair has ignited social networks.
The personal address of the director of the college was even released and he was placed under police protection after death threats, according to his lawyer, Me Pierre Perez.
