Liberty, equality, fraternity. This afternoon, in Livry Gargan, the family of Ahmed Merabet, the officer completed the ground in front of the building “Charlie Hebdo” by terrorists, wanted to recall the values of the French Republic. And silence “racist, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic” of all stripes whose voices are beginning to be heard cruelly. Sunken eyes, broken voice is Malek, the younger brother, who read a short text on behalf of all. Behind him sat his sisters, to his left, Morgane, the companion of Ahmed, on his right, his brother. All worthy welded.
“Stop doing amalgam of starting wars, burning mosques, synagogues, and you deal with people,” he begged. “It will not bring back our dead and it will soothe the families.”
After the drama, they took Wednesday in the face, they chose to remain silent. But the words written here and there, and this video of the drama that’s looping internet led them to break their silence.
No! Ahmed was not but Tunisian French of Algerian origin. Was neither married nor the father of two children for three years but had a girlfriend, Morgan, 38, with whom he had great plans. He had a successful review investigating officer. And was proud of those levels climbed one by one since the death of his father, 20 years ago.
“We wanted to make things especially compared to what we read in the papers [. ..]. And these images, especially … “says Malek trembling after the conference.
” How dare they show that? “
It was he who first learned, by chance, the death of his brother. He was in a police station of the 19th district to file a complaint when he heard the police talking about the attack against “Charlie Hebdo”
“I asked the police if they knew who was there. They told me that they were planting. It reassured me right away. Then in the hallway I heard colleagues talking among themselves. They said the name of Ahmed . Merabet I got up to go see I said. my brother They remained frozen … “
Her sisters rushed to their mother.. So it does not discover the tragedy through the media. They took the brunt and are still haunted by the unbearable images Ahmed, lying on the sidewalk:
“This is the worst video that we saw I. heard the burst and I heard his voice. I recognized his voice and there I saw him being shot, “said Malek in one breath. “How did they dared to show that? How dare you take that video and broadcast?” Enrages his brother in law.
Ahmed was going to have 41 years on 8 February. He had just bought a house. He was a Muslim and proud to be a police officer.
