Three Paris Police Officers Charged in Death of Delivery Worker Cédric Chouviat
Five years after the death of 42-year-old delivery worker Cédric Chouviat during a police intervention in Paris, three police officers are set to face trial for involuntary manslaughter. Chouviat died in January 2020 after repeatedly stating ‘I can’t breathe’ during a tense arrest. Medical examinations indicated potential misconduct in the police’s handling of the situation. The case has drawn parallels to the death of George Floyd in the U.S. as calls for accountability and reform intensify.
