Fakir, her niece Yossra: "The words of the agents are inhuman and merciless. Unspeakable horror"

BOLOGNA – “There was no mercy, only an indifference and verbal inhumanity that take your breath away in the face of a vanishing life.” Yossra Fakir, nephew of Abderrahim Fakir, returns to speak after weeks of silence and lists, in a post on Instagram, the words that the policemen on duty on 19 July, when the 42-year-old died during the intervention in the courtyard of Via Svevo, uttered, phrases recorded by the bodycam of one of the officers and reported in the report of the experts of the Prosecutor's Office: "And he died, go", "For me he could even have died", "Did he die? What the fuck I don't care." “If he dies we'll have fun.” “I'm fine, I'm fine but next time I'll explain to you carefully how it's done, because that way we'll get hurt”.

"These – the young woman reports – are the exact words recorded by their bodycams while my uncle, Abderrahim Fakir, was dying on the ground. Before taking his last breath, he shouted and begged the word 'help' 23 times". For Yossra Fakir, who in Piazza Maggiore, the day after her uncle's death, had asked for "truth and dignity", "those who wear a uniform have the duty to protect, not to ignore a cry for help or mock death. An unspeakable horror that no apology can ever erase": and therefore the apologies of one of the officers to the family and the police force are rejected to the sender. "I am his niece and I speak on behalf of our entire family, united alongside our lawyer Fabio Anselmo to obtain the truth. We will not allow my uncle's name to be trampled on, his last words to be ignored and all of this to pass over in silence. His life had value. We demand truth, we demand justice", she says again.
