On Wednesday, May 1, in a press release, the Bourges public prosecutor’s office was outraged by the attacks on a former magistrate of the Châteauroux judicial court who accused her of releasing the suspect in the homicide of the teenager.
The Bourges public prosecutor’s office expressed its indignation on Wednesday May 1 after hateful comments were made on social networks targeting a magistrate, in the context of the homicide in Châteauroux of young Matisse.
Saturday April 27, Matisse, aged 15, “died as a result of stabbings received from Rahman M., a minor of the same age, leaving behind a bereaved family”, recalls in a joint press release the first president of the court of appeal, Alain Vanzo, and the attorney general of the court of appeal, Eric Maillaud.
A judicial investigation was opened at the criminal division of the Bourges judicial court on Monday April 29 and the suspect was indicted for intentional homicide and placed in pre-trial detention.
“Since the occurrence of these dramatic events, hateful and threatening comments have been made, both on the Internet and on social networks, against a former magistrate of the Châteauroux judicial court,” indicates the press release. “Some believe they can criticize, in the context of previous criminal cases, the release of this minor”, denounce the two magistrates. The Afghan nationality of the two indicted has led several figures from the right and the extreme right to denounce the “migratory policy” of the government.
“This colleague, whose name is unfairly made known to the general public, has never intervened, in any capacity whatsoever, in the civil or criminal proceedings concerning the young Rahman M.”underline the magistrates. “We can only be indignant at the fact, in defiance of the law which represses all forms of threats and hatred online and in the anonymity provided by the Internet and social networks, to violently criticize the legitimate action of magistrates which, in strict compliance with the texts and international commitments of France, only consider the incarceration of a young minor who commits crimes – whatever their origin – with the legitimate caution that everyone has the right to exercise. to wait for”they insist.
A white march in tribute to Matisse will be organized on Saturday afternoon in the town center of the town. The family said they wanted the white march “takes place in a serene and united spirit”, the Châteauroux metropolis said in a press release on Wednesday evening.
