PARIS, France: The family of a Mauritanian man who died in custody last week has accused officers of killing him in the latest such allegation of police brutality.
The Paris prosecutor´s office said the police had launched an internal probe, but family said they want an independent investigating magistrate on the case.
El Hacen Diarra, 35, encountered police late on Wednesday as he was drinking a coffee outside the migrant dorms where he lived, his older brother Ibrahima said on Sunday.
“He had come to France to earn a living, now he´s gone forever,” he told hundreds of supporters at a memorial, after his sibling died in custody in the night of Wednesday to Thursday.
