These are videos that went around the web in the morning of Wednesday, June 17. On Twitter, a word appeared in the trends: Pregnant. We discovered many videos there, taken up by Internet users, where we can see a woman being raped by railway safety officers. At first, we see the woman arguing with the agents who end up catching her and tackling her to the ground. Frightened, in panic, she starts to scream, asking them not to lean on her belly. The young woman is pregnant. The witnesses are filming and trying to reason with the security agents. Finally, one of them launched tear gas to evacuate the station.

The video did not go unnoticed and many people have reported this violence. LFI MP Danièle Obono deplores such acts but also Hapsatou Sy: "So now the SNCF is getting into it and agents who are not even police officers think they are cowboys, and what is more, about a pregnant woman. What violence!" she denounces on her Instagram account.

Inevitably, SNCF was strongly solicited in the face of this shocking altercation. It is therefore through a press release that the SNCF expressed itself. According to her, the young woman in question had just been verbalized several times: "The accused had just been fined three times, in particular because he was not wearing a mask, he had spit and wanted to take the train without a ticket. The agents then invited him to leave the Faced with his refusal and aggressive behavior, this injunction to leave the station became binding. " Also according to SNCF, the young woman had clearly indicated that she was pregnant during the arrest. She was then taken in charge by the SAMU. The newspaper The Parisian says she filed a complaint against the officers for "Intentional violence aggravated by a person holding public authority."

As for the one who tried to intervene by informing the security agents of the young woman's pregnancy, he was handed over to the police for contempt and violence.

An internal investigation has been launched. One of the agents is in ITT for 7 days while two others are in ITT for 5 days.

Racism in the police: these officers still in office despite their racist insults
