The police in Toulouse in the suburb of Mirail wanted to see the face of a veiled Muslim woman, beaten her violently.

The incident was reported to have happened on Sunday (April 15) when a police officer asked for a veiled Muslim woman to show her face. During the identity check, a woman, who was identified as a woman, denied to show her face upon insist of the police, and that the police officers beat her violently.

The French Police have arbitrary treatments

The arbitrary treatment of the police caused the young people at the scene to react. After the intervention of the youngsters with the stone, the police took the Muslim woman to the police station.

The events grew after the video footage of beaten a Muslim woman was published in social media. On day 3, dozens of vehicles were set on fire in the ongoing demonstrations in the suburbs of Toulouse. The Governor of Toulouse announced that 18 people were taken into custody. As the car arsons and events grew larger, Governor Mailhos was at the call of calmness.

A Muslim youth was murdered in prison

On the other hand, it was stated that the death of a Muslim, in the south of Toulouse, in Seyisses Prison, who was from the suburbs of Mirail on Saturday also triggered incidents. The genocide claimed to have committed suicide while in prison was said he was very far away from suicide and murdered by prison guards.

Previously, in Trappes, west of Paris, a person had a strong reaction to the police's desire to remove the veil of his wife for identity control; then taken into custody. Hundreds of people who wanted the man to be released acted in front of the police station. In the ongoing events, dozens of vehicles were burned and there were injured people due to disproportionate attacks of the police.  

The "veil ban" law that entered into force in Europe for the first time during the Nicolas Sarkozy's presidency in France in 2011, prohibits covering the face invisible. The one who violates the law fines with the €150.
