Jumaa al-Hasan, a Syrian man, drowned on the night between 2 and 3 March 2024 in the north of France, during an attempted police interception. An investigation by The New Arab (TNA) can reveal that, despite the proximity of officers on shore and repeated warnings from those travelling with Jumaa al-Hasan, the police did nothing to save the 27 year old. In the aftermath of his death, the fire brigade carried out only a minimal search.
