Multiple Black Lives Matter protesters have been arrested in France after demonstrations against the death of a Malian man in police custody left Beaumont-sur-Oise and other nearby towns in flames. Of those arrested, some are being charged with throwing incendiary objects at security forces and others for “trying to burn down” their towns.

 

Despite a huge police presence, Saturday marked a fifth night of violence in the Val d’Oise district after the death of Adama Traoré in police custody on Tuesday. During demonstrations against Mr. Traoré’s death, protesters, some wielding baseball bats, torched cars, petrol pumps, bins, and piles of rubbish. Buildings were also set alight, including a large warehouse in Persan, near Beaumont-sur-Oise.

 

The windows of municipal buildings such as public libraries were smashed, marchers shot homemade mortars and buckshot at police, and threw incendiary projectiles during the protests, which left several police wounded.

 

On Thursday Beaumont-sur-Oise mayor Nathalie Groux, condemned the behaviour of some of the protesters, saying it would not solve anything.

 

She said: “Their intention was clearly to set fire to the town hall. They pulled out the mailbox, broke the door, and threw trash in before throwing a Molotov cocktail. Fortunately, it did not catch fire.

 

“It addresses a public facility, a symbol of the Republic. I do not think this will solve anything. We must separate the drama of family violence. We will deal with the thugs and criminals [who launched the attacks]. I hope that justice will be uncompromising towards them.”
