E/CN.4/1996/72/Add.3 page 24 More incidents were reported in 1993 than 1992 and they were more serious: 32 incidents and 17 persons injured in 1992, 38 incidents and 32 persons injured in 1993. This relative upsurge can be explained by the renewed dynamism of activist movements (PNFE) and the skinheads and by mimicry of the growth of xenophobic and racist violence in Germany. The skinheads were responsible for 34 incidents in 1993, including 17 racist acts, which account for half all such acts of violence. The two most striking racist acts of 1993 were the following attacks: Against three North Africans, by seven soldiers, including two skinheads, on 5 June, in Bordeaux (33); One of the victims was very seriously injured; Against two North Africans, who were badly beaten and burned on their hands and faces by a group of skinheads who doused them with gasoline, on the night of 26-27 September 1993, in Paris. While the number of incidents in 1994 remained stable, at 34, the seriousness increased that year: 1 person killed and 27 injured in 1994, as opposed to 33 injured in 1993. 4 On 6 August 1994, in Ault (80), a young man from a Harki family was verbally abused by a group of young people who were drunk as he left an annual dance. There were racist insults and a fight broke out. The next day, his body was found at the foot of a cliff. Seven persons were imprisoned, three of them charged with wilful murder. Other violent acts also received attention in 1994: On 16 April, in Clermont (60), three young people who were drunk violently attacked a Guadeloupian, who was critically injured (45 days of sick leave): two of the perpetrators were jailed and the third was placed under court supervision for failure to assist a person in danger; On 30 April, in Saint-Ouen-L’Aumone (95), two drunken persons, armed with baseball bats and knuckle-dusters, broke into the Sonacotra hostel and violently attacked two residents of African origin in the prayer room. The perpetrators, members of the Nationalist Union Group (GUN), a splinter group of the National Youth Front, were jailed; On 17 July, in Dreux (28), five youths organized a “punitive expedition” in a largely Maghrebi neighbourhood. They wounded seven persons, two of them critically, with firearms. During the course of their arrest, one of the attackers was wounded by the police and subsequently died; 4 He already had a police record for drug-related offences.
