Seydi Ba advised individuals who suffered police violence the day before to file a complaint at the police station of their choice. He stated that the station must accept the complaint under Article 15-3 of the Criminal Procedure Code, and recommended immediately requesting a requisition for a medico-judicial unit to have the ITT assessed, with the option of being accompanied by a lawyer. He also recommended sending a written complaint to the public prosecutor, accompanied by videos and a detailed description of the facts, including timings, actions, visible identifiers, and witnesses. He urged witnesses to also write to the prosecutor, attaching their videos, their dated and signed account, as well as a copy of their identification. Seydi Ba finally recommended contacting the IGPN or the IGGN if it involved gendarmes, as well as the Defender of Rights, and to keep medical certificates, photos, clothing, and contact details of witnesses. He suggested contacting the Bar Association, the CAJ Collective, or the Antiracist Legal Team for assistance, and called for not allowing police violence to go unchallenged. #ViolencesPolicières #DroitsHumains #Justice (translated)
