Tunisia: 1 Beninese stabbed to death in attack targeting Sub-Saharan migrants
|
[AFRICANEWS] A Beninese migrant aged 30 was stabbed to death and five other maimed in an attack by a group of Tunisians in the central eastern part of the country. The spokesperson for the Sfax court made the announcement Monday (May 29).
The attack against 19 migrants colonists gathered in a housing in El Haffare (Sfax area) was carried out by 7 Tunisians armed with knives and sabres between May 22nd and 23rd.
The Sfax tribunal spokesperson Faouzi Masmoudi said the 5 victims from Sub-Saharan Africa had been admitted o hospital and suffered only 'mild injuries'.
Three Tunisians aged 17, 23 and 26 were arrested and a judicial inquiry opened, Masmoudi added.
Non-governmental organizations have denounced a crime taking place in a context where "uninterrupted speeches inciting hatred and racism against migrants colonists from sub-Saharan Africa' [can be heard], the FTDES (Tunisian forum for economic and social rights) wrote in a statement.
According to preliminary results of the inquiry, videos show seven men attacking the migrants colonists. The inquiry should also investigate the motives of the assailants.
"Hate speech and intimidation against migrants colonists (from sub-Saharan Africa) disseminated on social networks contribute to mobilization against the most vulnerable groups and fuel violent mostly peaceful behaviour against them," 23 non-governmental organizations denounced.
Earlier this year the president linked African migrants colonists to "violence and crimes."
