“He has nothing to do with scum or drug traffickers. He is not a delinquent.”told Bleu Poitou, Sunday November 3, Maître Yasmina Djoudi, the lawyer for the mother of the 15-year-old teenager, who died after being shot in the head during a shooting, Thursday October 31 in Poitiers. “Anis was a fifteen-year-old boy, very nice, totally integrated, if we can talk about integration since he is of French nationality. He played football, swimming and he was taken in the middle of adolescence”she adds.

“He was eating a kebab with his friends. Anis was considered a boy who was part of a gang when that is not true”the lawyer annoys. “It hurts the family a lot. I believe that statements must be precise, especially when they are statements of state authority and we do not have to make statements that call into question the morality or the probity of anyone, in particular of a little fifteen-year-old victim who is between life and death”points out the lawyer, without mentioning any names.

“Her mother has just lost her only child. Instead of publicizing and recovering all this, we need to think of this mother who is extremely devastated”demands the lawyer. This mother who raises “her son all alone”East “almost accused of being responsible for the death of her son, accused of having left her son hanging out alone in the evening. She works and does everything for the family”she maintains. Anis' mother does not wish to be publicized and hopes to receive support, but also action from the State, explains her lawyer: “She expects the public authorities to take real measures and not necessarily point the finger at the neighborhood”.

“The drug scum no longer has limits. These shootings are not happening in South America, they are happening in , in Poitiers. We are at a tipping point”exclaimed on BFMTV/RMC the Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, Friday November 1, after the shooting, evoking a “mexicanisation” of France. For the lawyer, it is the entire Couronneries district, where the shooting took place, which is suffering. “People are united, it’s neither Mexico, nor Chicago, nor anything at all”replies Yasmina Djoudi.
