　フランスでは先月、警察の停車命令を無視した１７歳の少年が射殺され、２００５年以降で最悪の暴動に発展。依然として緊張状態が続いている。
　アダマ・トラオレさん（当時２４）の追悼デモは８日、各地で行われた。弟のユスフさん（２９）は約２０００人が参加したパリでのデモの最中に警察に拘束された。
　複数の目撃者が撮影した動画には、抵抗したユスフさんが警官らにタックルされ、腹ばいの状態で拘束される様子が映っている。
　警察筋によると、逮捕の際にユスフさんは目を負傷。警察署内で体調不良を訴え、病院に搬送された。ユスフさんは９日に退院した。
　同日行われた、デモで逮捕された別の男性の支持集会に姿を見せたユスフさんの右目は腫れていた。
　ＡＦＰが確認した診断書によると、ユスフさんは鼻骨骨折、目の周りに青あざができる頭部外傷に加え、胸、腹、腰に打撲傷を負った。
　ユスフさんの弁護士は、意図的な暴力であり被害届を出したと話した。
　関係筋によると、ユスフさんはデモの開始時に警官を殴ったことから公務員に対する暴力の容疑で逮捕された。
　ユスフさんは、自分は「不正」の被害者であり、警官を攻撃したりはしてないと主張している。
　パリ検察は、ユスフさんに対する捜査は「続いている」と述べた。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

A man arrested in Paris during a memorial rally for his brother, who died in police custody seven years ago, was released from hospital Sunday, amid calls for more protests.
The appeals for action came with France still on edge after the police killing of a teenager near Paris sparked the worst rioting in the country since 2005.
Youssouf Traore, 29, was detained by police Saturday amid protests across the country that commemorated the death of his brother Adama Traore, a black 24-year-old, in 2016, many of them in defiance of police bans on gatherings.
According to a police source, Youssouf Traore was injured in the eye during his arrest at the Paris protest attended by some 2,000 people, and was taken to hospital after becoming sick at the police station.
Traore appeared with a swollen right eye at a gathering on Sunday in support of another man who was arrested at the rally, an AFP journalist saw.
According to a medical report seen by AFP, he suffered a fractured nose, head trauma with a black eye, and contusions to his chest, abdomen and lumbar.
Traore's lawyer Yassine Bouzrou said he had filed a complaint for deliberate violence.
Traore was arrested on charges of violence against a public official, having been accused of hitting a police officer at the start of the rally at Place de la Republique, according to a source close to the case.
Traore said he was the victim of injustice and denied attacking the police officer.
His sister Assa Traore denounced a police ambush and said the images of the arrest revived painful memories.
My brother (Adama) died in exactly the same way, she said.
The second arrested man left custody on Sunday, the campaign group set up in Adama Traore's memory told AFP.
The Paris prosecutor's office said the investigation into Youssouf Traore was continuing, while the second man was summoned to appear before a magistrate at a later date.
- Pent-up frustrations -
The forceful arrest of Youssouf Traore, filmed by several witnesses, showed him resisting and being tackled and held face down by several police officers, sparking condemnation by several left-wing politicians on social media.
Left-leaning associations, unions and political parties called for another day of mobilisation against police violence in Paris on July 15.
France has been on edge since a police officer shot dead Nahel M., a 17-year-old with Algerian roots, during a traffic stop on June 27 in a Paris suburb.
The shooting rekindled long pent-up frustrations and accusations of systemic racism among France's security forces and sparked nights of rioting, the worst urban unrest in the country since 2005.
More than 3,700 people were taken into police custody in connection with the protests since Nahel's death, including at least 1,160 minors, according to official figures.
