6月27日在法国上塞纳省楠泰尔市,一名警员截停一辆汽车时开枪,驾车的17岁少年死亡。目前,开枪警员因涉嫌故意杀人被拘留,检方已开始对这起事件展开调查。
当地时间6月30日晚,法国巴黎、马赛、里昂以及楠泰尔等多个城市继续出现暴力袭击、抢劫及纵火事件。法国内政部7月1日表示,6月30日晚至7月1日凌晨,法国有超过1300人被捕。法国总理府宣布取消全国所有大型活动。
另据比利时媒体报道,6月29日至6月30日,比利时警方在布鲁塞尔逮捕了100多人。
据央视新闻,中央广播电视总台记者从中国驻马赛总领馆了解,当地时间6月29日晚,一辆载有中国游客的大巴车在法国马赛遭到骚乱分子的围困和攻击,数名游客受轻伤。车内一乘客当时拨打中国驻马赛总领馆领保电话,总领馆工作人员第一时间协助报警,并与警察沟通协调。
当晚,该批中国乘客均安全抵达旅馆,并已于6月30日离开法国前往瑞士。
法国总统推迟对德访问,被逮捕骚乱者平均17岁
据央视新闻,当地时间7月1日,根据爱丽舍宫的消息,法国总统马克龙决定推迟原定于7月2日至7月4日对德国的国事访问。报道称,德国总统府发布声明说,“法国总统马克龙今天与德国总统施泰因迈尔通电话,并向他通报了法国局势,”“马克龙总统请求推迟对德国的国事访问。”据新华社,这是23年来法国总统对德国的首次国事访问。
据新华社,法国内政部长达尔马宁7月1日对媒体说,内政部除在全境加强警力外,还向马赛和里昂两个骚乱严重的城市增派了特警、装甲车和直升机等执法力量。他说,在6月30日晚至7月1日凌晨的骚乱中,警方在全国逮捕1300多人,其中在首都巴黎逮捕406人。目前被逮捕的骚乱者平均年龄只有17岁。法国司法部长莫雷蒂在接受媒体采访时说,有些纵火者是未成年人,骚乱人群的年轻化令人担忧。
法国经济、财政及工业、数字主权部长勒梅尔1日说,已有数百家超市、烟草专卖店、储蓄所、快餐店等受到骚乱影响。他要求保险公司迅速对受损商户进行理赔。
据环球网,美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)等媒体称,有骚乱现场视频显示,部分骚乱者持有枪支。马斯克当地时间6月30日发推对此发表评论称,“这些枪支大部分通过盗窃或走私获得”。
马斯克是在与推特网友互动时发表上述言论的。当天,先是有网友发布法国骚乱画面称,“法国沦陷了……警方无法控制住全国范围内发生的移民问题和左翼骚乱者的行为,法国媒体投降了,他们无法统计出全国范围内被洗劫、纵火和摧毁的城镇数量。”这段画面中,一些人手持枪支冲空中开火。随后,另一名网友转发这条推特并表示,“法国公民毫无防备”,看到这样一幕上演,令人感到难过。
“他们从哪里获得所有这些枪支?”马斯克在上述网友推文评论区表示,“在欧洲,虽然个人持枪数量非常有限,但也并非为零。因此,这些枪支大部分肯定是通过盗窃或走私获得的。”
骚乱已蔓延至邻国比利时,日内瓦已暂停与法公共交通
据央视新闻援引比利时《晚报》当地时间6月30日报道称,比利时警方当天在布鲁塞尔已逮捕超过100名参与骚乱的年轻人,其中多人“持有武器”。
本周稍早前,法国警察射杀少年事件引起法国各界强烈反应,骚乱随后扩散至比利时。据比利时媒体报道,已有布鲁塞尔、列日等多地的年轻人进行聚集,甚至“混战”。报道称,比利时警方6月30日晚在布鲁塞尔增加部署了大量警力,以防止骚乱升级。
据参考消息援引法新社稍早前报道,瑞士日内瓦公共交通公司宣布,当地时间周五晚19:30起,日内瓦和法国之间的公共交通暂停。由于骚乱,巴黎决定暂停两者之间的大巴、有轨电车等的通行。
日内瓦公共交通公司在一份公报中指出:“由于法国几个晚上发生的事件,法国当局下令从晚上9点开始全面停止该地区的公共交通。为了响应这一要求,从晚上19:30开始,法瑞边境的跨境公共交通线路将逐步停止。”
报道称,日内瓦三面与法国接壤。成千上万居住在法国、在日内瓦工作的跨境通勤者需要乘坐公共汽车和有轨电车。
射杀事件如何引爆法国社会的?
据央视新闻援引法国24新闻台此前报道,法国警察6月27日开枪射杀一位名为内尔的17岁北非裔少年,警方称内尔拒绝停车且威胁冲撞,但是现场视频显示的内容与警方说法有出入,涉事警察开枪动机遭到质疑。此事再度引发该国针对警方执法策略的争论。
事实上,这并非法国近年来唯一一次警察开枪致死事件。据警方统计,2022年,有13名法国人因在交通堵塞的情况下不遵守规则而被警察开枪打死。今年,包括内尔在内已有三人因此死去。
北非移民、生活在贫困区、未成年……从这名少年身上的关键词中,人们或许能够找到些许答案。有分析认为,这是一起针对贫困区移民的警察暴力事件,这一事件引发的骚乱也多发生在少数族裔居多的贫困社区。
美联社则指出,尽管过去近20年,那些法国社会所存在的根深蒂固的顽疾仍然存在,只不过2005年还不流行短视频,而今天的社交媒体无疑让此类事件的传播变得更为便捷和广泛。
马克龙此前也表示,29日被捕的人中有三分之一是年轻人,其中又有很多是未成年人。他还表示,社交网络上有人在组织集会,在现实社会模仿网上的暴力行为,这些参与骚乱的年轻人大都受到了影响。他号召这些孩子的父母要担负起监管责任,不要让未成年人参与暴力行动。
Funeral held for French teenager as arrests mount on fifth night of protests

The average age of the more than 2000 detainees is 17 years old

A tense atmosphere lingered in Nanterre on Saturday following the funeral of a French teenager who was fatally shot by police in the Paris suburb earlier this week.
Arrests continued to mount with more than 1,300 people detained Friday overnight into Saturday and another 121 people arrested Saturday during the fifth night of nationwide protests in France after the 17-year-old’s death, according to the French Interior Ministry.
Family and friends gathered Saturday afternoon local time for the funeral service at a mosque in Nanterre. The funeral was solemn and quiet, according to CNN’s team on the ground, with people waiting in silence for his coffin to leave the mosque and be taken for burial. The teenager has been buried in the Mont Valérien cemetery in Nanterre, CNN’s team reported.
A heavy security presence was in place around the mosque.

The boy’s mother, Mounia, told television station France 5 on Friday that she blamed only the officer who shot her son, Nahel Merzouk, for his death. Nonetheless, the killing has sparked widespread destructive unrest and questions over whether race was a factor in his death.
Protests continued into the early hours of Saturday in defiance of a ban announced a day earlier on all “large-scale events” in the country, with rioting breaking out in several cities, CNN affiliate BFMTV reported.
France’s Interior Ministry said Saturday that 1,311 people had been detained following the fourth night of violence, an update on its previous figure. It said 2,560 fires had been reported on public roads, with 1,350 cars burned, and that there had been 234 incidents of damage or fire in buildings.
France activated 45,000 police and gendarmes across the country Saturday night, according to the country’s interior minister, Gérald Darmanin.
“I think everyone understands that the government won’t back down,” Darmanin said.
He added the French government will heavily reinforce security forces in Lyon and Marseille, where violent clashes took place Friday night.
Many of those detained since the unrest began on Tuesday are minors. The average age of the more than 2000 detainees is 17 years old, Darmanin said.
Seventy-nine police and gendarmes were injured over the course of Friday night and there were 58 attacks on police and gendarme stations, according to the Interior Ministry.
Two police officers suffered gunshot wounds in Vaulx-en-Velin, a suburb of Lyon, the office said, one to the nose and the other to the thigh.
Social media videos of scenes in Lyon, geolocated by CNN, showed rapid gunfire from an automatic rifle at night, fireworks being released at a protest and demonstrators next to burning fires.
The Interior Ministry said it would send its elite unit of riot police, CRS 8, to Lyon on Saturday night as it seeks to clamp down on the violence.
More than 700 businesses across France have been damaged since the start of the protests, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said at a news conference Saturday. The businesses, which include shopping centers and bank branches, have been attacked, looted or in some cases, burned to the ground, he said.
Macron postpones state visit
In light of the protests, French President Emmanuel Macron has postponed his planned state visit to Germany, the press office of the German presidency said in a statement Saturday.
Macron spoke with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier by phone to brief him on the “situation in his country,” the statement said. He had been due to visit Germany from July 2 to July 4.
On Friday, the German government expressed “concern” over the unrest sweeping France.
The French president has faced criticism after he was spotted at an Elton John concert on Wednesday while buildings were being defaced and cars burned across the country.
The continued violence overnight into Saturday came despite French police deploying 45,000 officers, special units, armored vehicles and helicopters across the country.
The country’s interior minister said in a tweet that reinforcements would be sent to Marseille on Saturday following reports by the local mayor of violence and looting.
Marseille mayor Benoit Payan had tweeted late Friday night that the scenes were “unacceptable” and called upon the state to “immediately send additional law enforcement forces.”
There was an explosion in the Old Port of Marseille on Friday evening, according to CNN affiliate BFMTV, but no casualties were reported. The broadcaster also shared video showing damage to the Alcazar library in Marseille which it said had been vandalized during the night.
The previous night, 917 people were detained across the country, among them children as young as 13, Darmanin told French TV channel TF1.
Based on numbers released by France’s Interior Ministry, CNN estimates that more than 2,000 protesters have been detained and around 522 police officers and gendarmes injured since the unrest first broke out on Tuesday.
Why are people protesting?
The unrest is a response to the death of Nahel, who was shot dead during a traffic stop Tuesday morning in Nanterre.
Footage of the incident filmed by a bystander showed two officers standing on the driver’s side of the car, one of whom fired his gun at the driver despite not appearing to be in any immediate danger.
The officer has said he fired his gun out of fear that the boy would run someone over with the car, according to Nanterre prosecutor Pascal Prache.
The officer currently faces a formal investigation for voluntary homicide and has been placed in preliminary detention.
Despite calls from top officials for patience to allow time for the justice system to run its course, a sizable number of people across France remain shocked and angry, especially young men and women of color who have been victims of discrimination by police. Nahel was of Algerian descent.

Protests appear even to have spread to overseas French territories.
A man was killed by a “stray bullet” during riots in Cayenne, the capital of French Guiana, on Thursday evening, according to a statement from the city’s mayor.
And authorities in Réunion, a French department in the Indian Ocean, said Saturday that at least 28 people had been detained in riots there, while five police officers and a gendarme were injured.
Darmanin has said that the death of Nahel “cannot justify the disorder and the delinquency,” while French Justice Minister Éric Dupond-Moretti has called for “firm sanctions” against the rioters and said that “justice was not achieved by looting, smashing public establishments and attacking people.”
This level of unrest and rioting has not been seen in France since 2005, when the deaths of two teenage boys who were hiding from police sparked weeks of rioting and prompted the government to call a state of emergency.
But the French government has so far resisted calling a state of emergency this time around.
A spokesperson for the Elysée said Friday that a state of emergency was “not necessary” and that a “gradual response” to the violence seen in recent days was “more appropriate.”
