Minor refugee in an emergency situation or adult waiting for asylum? That is the whole complexity of the case of this Guinean who arrived in France in February. His situation worsens and he becomes angry. (…)

In Melun, he smashed everything in the Palace of Justice, which will result in him receiving a summons in a few days. In Amiens, in a law office in the city centre, the other Monday, October 16, he attacked his lawyer. On June 18, he couldn’t stand the fact that the door was closed at lunchtime and insulted and threatened another lawyer who had picked up the phone, saying: “In any case, someone is going to die… I’m going to give you hell, I’m going to fuck you.

Daouda Sangare is sentenced to three months in prison without parole and remains in custody in Amiens. He is also obliged to leave French territory. “I have crossed the desert, I have crossed the sea; if I have to, I will go somewhere else,” he assured.
