"The Lyon prosecutor's office told AFP on Saturday that he had died of his wounds. An investigation has been opened into suspected aggravated manslaughter, it added. Macron said on X that Quentin had been the victim of "an unprecedented outburst of violence. "Hatred that kills has no place in our country. I call for calm, restraint and respect," he added."
"According to the Nemesis collective, which is close to the far-right, Quentin was part of the security team responsible for ensuring the safety of its activists. They were demonstrating against the conference by Hassan, who is known for her outspoken criticism of Israel. The family's lawyer said in a statement that Quentin appeared to have been ambushed by "organised and trained individuals, vastly superior in number and armed, some with their faces masked"."
A 23-year-old man known as Quentin died after being hospitalized following an attack in Lyon while reportedly providing security at a protest against a conference by hard-left MEP Rima Hassan at Sciences Po Lyon. Prosecutors said he died of his wounds and opened an investigation into suspected aggravated manslaughter. The Nemesis collective said Quentin was part of its security team and accused a local anti-fascist association of responsibility. The family's lawyer said he appeared ambushed by organised, armed, masked individuals. President Macron called for calm and restraint. Marine Le Pen demanded those responsible be brought to justice.
