“My future, my reintegration, is in Belgium. To send me back to France is death“, said Salah Abdeslam before the civil court of Brussels sitting in summary proceedings. The lawyers of the man who was found guilty of assassinations and attempted assassinations in the context of the trial of the attacks of March 22, 2016 in Brussels intend to allow their client to serve his sentence in Belgium on the pretext that his detention in France would expose him to inhuman treatment.
“I was undressed, handcuffed”
Invited to speak at the end of the hearing, Salah Abdeslam wanted to share his experience in the French prison of Fleury-Merogis. “Imagine yourself locked in a cell of 9 m2 with the idea in your head of never leaving it once more. Living with this every day is unbearable! That’s why we asked you, Madam President.“, said the French thirty-something. “They watched me 24 hours a day for six years, they stripped me, handcuffed me. I remember this time when a supervisor jumped on my head with his safety shoes… Since I was publicized, it’s hell for me: ‘we can do what we want, it is Abdeslam’.”
“I only saw my father five times. My family spent all their savings to come see me and if they send me back they won’t be able to come.“, a terminé Salah Abdeslam.”For me, life is a nightmare here or there. But here will be more livable.”
The order concerning the possible return to France of the man will be made within one month.
