Freedom Hunters for Tamils Statement
We are deeply saddened and concerned by the fatal shooting of a Tamil man by French police in Bobigny, France, on 30 May 2026. Reports indicate that the deceased had been suffering from long-term mental health difficulties.
Freedom Hunters for Tamils strongly condemns any unnecessary or disproportionate use of force and calls for a full, transparent, and independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding this tragic death.
Every human life has value. Incidents involving individuals experiencing mental health crises require the highest standards of care, restraint, and accountability. The family of the deceased and the wider Tamil community deserve clear answers about what happened and whether all appropriate measures were taken before lethal force was used.
We call upon the French authorities to ensure that this case is investigated impartially and thoroughly, and that justice is delivered in accordance with the rule of law. Accountability and transparency are essential to maintaining public trust and protecting human rights.
Our thoughts and condolences are with the family, friends, and all those affected by this tragedy.
