Belgium: Police and racism
artdoc April=1995

African witness to arrest hospitalised

A Zairian man who protested at the violence of a police arrest
has himself been hospitalised.
Jean-Jacques Manzombi was one of many bystanders who witnessed
an African woman being handcuffed and pulled into a police van
by her hair. Police reinforcements were called to deal with the
protests of the bystanders, who were both black and white, and
the Zairian man, it is alleged, was beaten unconscious. He
suffered a broken arm and needed 8 stitches to a head wound over
5 centimetres long (Solidaire 30.11.94).
