Press: Blindness and Stubbornness

Posté le 07/12/2017

On November 15, 2013, I gave an interview to a Mayotte radio station called KWEZI FM. I had just been out of detention for only three days, and I had an electronic bracelet on my ankle. After five months of confinement, I had a lot of anger in my voice because I was confronted with the blindness of the judicial system and the prejudices of the press. I trusted the host of the program, thinking that he would ask questions for the sole purpose of allowing me to explain the case; but the one was rather trying to trap me. His stubbornness in asking skewed questions is a reflection of the whole procedure I have undergone. This interview is online since 2013: I have just incorporated some photos and videos to make it more enjoyable to watch on my website. I would like you to know that the judge had me incarcerated anew, after I gave this interview. Supposedly, I aimed at destabilizing the civil parties. Yet, nothing in the French law prevented me from talking to the press, especially as the lawyers of the civil parties were talking too. One of them, Mansour Kamardine, denigrated me everyday and demanded my dismissal on the grounds that I did not deserve to be a lawyer. But the funny thing is that unlike him, I did obtain my lawyer's diploma.

Why destabilize unsteady liars? In this video, we see for example Samiati's young sister, who admitted to the police, contrarily to what Samiati said, that they have a senior consanguineous sister. It was the latter who used to cover her when she spent the night at my house. What a discrepancy! You see for youself now, how blind judges can be when they want to. The entire interview is in French; but I have done my best to translate it into English, notwithstanding the technical difficulties like voices that overlap, words that fade out, stuttering, etc. Apart from that, it is easy now to summarize the genesis of my tragedy, when you have browsed all my videos. I am not a lawyer like the others: I am hardly a half-lawyer. So I do not have the usual privileges of a defense attorney. A magistrate can interrupt me at will or even ask the civil parties not to answer my questions. Yes, this is a tiny part of what I have been through as a Black Attorney in France. Worse, the magistrate may arbitrarily take offense at an outrage that does not exist. As for the prosecutor, he wanted to hit me one way or another, as he had told me. Obviously, he did not miss me.
