French officials try to conceal police brutality
French officials are pushing ahead with their attempts to suppress a website that reveals cases of police brutality, Press TV reports. Political analysts say the new French Prime Minister Manuel Valls is trying to silence whistleblowers who aim to disclose French police’s brutality. After the death of his brother by the police, Amal Bentounsi started the website, so that people can share their stories of police violence. The site is opposed by the strict code of silence among the police and politicians all the way up the political ladder. They contend that the site is guilty of defamation, as it alleges criminal wrongdoing that can only be proved in a court of law.
