A Londres, la bavure en face

mardi 23 août 2005 - 18:34

Performance artistique et politique, mardi, dans la vitrine du grand magasin londonien Selfridge's,

sur Oxford Street, en plein centre de la capitale britannique.

La scène représente la mort de Jean-Charles de Menezes,

jeune électricien brésilien abattu par erreur par les hommes de Scotland Yard dans le métro de Londres,
au lendemain des attentats manqués du 21 juillet.

Le Brésilien de 27 ans avait d'abord été accusé par la police d'avoir cherché à fuir.
En réalité, il a été identifié à tort comme un kamikaze et exécuté de sept balles dans la tête.

L'installation est l'œuvre d'étudiants de la «Prince's Drawing School»,
une fondation financée par le prince de Galles.

La commission d'enquête indépendante chargée d'enquêter sur la bavure
a annoncé mardi qu'elle ne publierait pas son rapport avant février 2006.
«Personne ne peut s'attendre à ce qu'une telle enquête soit précipitée.

Elle doit être de grande ampleur et être menée avec un soin considérable»,
a déclaré un porte-parole de la commission.
La justice britannique a de son côté repoussé l'enquête médico-légale au 23 février 2006,
sans préciser le motif de ce report.

Une avocate de la famille s'est déclarée satisfaite
de disposer d'une échéance pour la conclusion de l'enquête.

Lundi soir, des proches de Menezes ont déposé une lettre ouverte au Premier ministre
pour demander «la vérité et la justice» sur le drame.

Deux émissaires du gouvernement brésilien sont actuellement à Londres.

Safety tips

Help us to help you travel safely and securely on the Tube

Safety and security has always been our top priority.

Following the recent terrorist attacks on the Tube,

we have implemented a number of additional security measures

to complement those already in place.

Here’s what we do to help keep the Tube safe.


Each of our 275 stations has its own evacuation plan.

Every member of staff has had training in evacuation

and safety procedures and are currently in high visibility clothing

(as are police patrols, both BTP and Metropolitan at stations

throughout central London).

A thorough check of all public areas of the train is now being undertaken

by the train crew in the course of their normal duties and this includes

when changing ends at terminal stations, and when each train is entering or leaving service.

Extra staff patrols are at stations and additional search teams are

currently on standby.


There is close liaison between Tube, police, fire and ambulance services.

We hold regular emergency exercises, like Operation Dartboard

in June 2005, and are constantly re-evaluating our evacuation

procedures


You, our customer, also have a part to play in maintaining security.

Please be alert for any unattended bags or luggage.

If you see something that looks suspicious,

please contact the nearest LU staff

member.

Please keep your luggage with you at all times

– this helps us avoid

unnecessary security alerts and delays

Please follow the instructions of LU staff

in the event of any emergency -

they are trained to ensure your safety.


To encourage the public to help us keep the network safe:

We are undertaking additional PA announcements regarding

keeping belongings with you and to reassure you when the train

has to stop in a tunnel for longer than a few seconds.

We have engaged the media and called on you to be vigilant,

keep belongings with you, and report anything suspicious to staff.

New posters have been produced to remind you

to ‘Help us keep the Tube safe’


Safety tips:
