Paris, France – Issam El Khalfaoui’s teenage son Souhail was shot and killed by a police officer in 2021 in Marseille. “When my son was killed during a police traffic stop, we realised how difficult it was to bring the truth to light.

We realised that this was a deeply systemic issue,” El Khalfaoui told Al Jazeera. “The IGPN [National Police] lost the video that captured my son’s murder.
