The Legault government is open to holding a public coroner’s inquest into the death of 15-year-old Nooran Rezayi, killed by police in Longueuil on Sept. 21. Public Security Minister Ian Lafrenière raised the possibility Thursday morning during Question Period. But he specified that this would only be at the end of the processes already underway at Quebec’s police watchdog – the Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes (BEI) – and the Montreal police (SPVM), if these investigations do not get to the bottom of the matter. It was Québec solidaire (QS) MNA Andrés Fontecilla who called for a public inquiry, accusing the BEI of not being transparent. QS presented a motion that calls on the government: “To ensure that full light is shed on the events surrounding his death and that it demands that every effort be made to ensure that investigations are conducted transparently in order to restore public trust; That it recognize that young people from racialized communities are an integral part of Quebec society and contribute positively to community life; That it denounce the hateful comments disseminated on social media in the wake of this tragedy, as well as any widespread association between young people and violence or delinquency; That the government reaffirms their commitment to fighting the stigmatization of Quebec youth; Finally, that the government observe a minute of silence in memory of Nooran Rezayi.”–This report by La Presse Canadienne was translated by CityNews
