The family of Aboubakar Cissé, the young Malian murdered in a Mosque du Gard on April 25, 2025, must normally be received on Monday by the Minister of the Interior. But their lawyer, Yassine Bouzrou, does not wish it. “I strongly advise against my clients to go to a minister who called Aboubakar Cissé as an irregular situation. I found these completely disrespectful ”, he said on Saturday May 3 on Franceinfo.
Yassine Bouzrou also castigated “A minister who lacked respect in this way in front of all France”.
