Nooran Rezayi
Khaama: The Afghan community in Canada and abroad is mourning the tragic death of 15-year-old Afghan boy, Nooran Rezayi, who was fatally shot by police during an intervention in Longueuil, Quebec, on Sunday afternoon. His grieving family insists he was unarmed, and they are calling for justice and accountability. Witnesses say most of the youths fled into nearby woods, but Nooran remained in place with his hands raised. Friends present at the scene told La Presse that the teenager attempted to open his backpack to show police he had no weapon when officers fired twice, striking him in the chest and abdomen.
