Darius, Roma lynching, Pierrefitte sur Seine, Paris

Remnants of belongings, toys and dolls left behind inside makeshift Roma camp, where Darius, victim of a lynching, used to live, opposite Cite des Poetes, Pierrefitte-sur_seine, Paris suburbs

Darius, a 16-year-old adolescent, Roma Gypsy who lived with his family in the Paris suburbs, is still in a coma, caught between life and death one week after being dragged from the camp where he and his family lived, very badly beaten up and left dumped in a supermarket trolley. No arrests have been made of any suspects in the case; he was victim of a lynching by a balaclava-wearing vigilante mob who accused Darius of burgling a nearby apartment. Pierrelafitte, Paris banlieu, France
