A/50/476 English Page 25 outbursts of violence and the temptation for these groups to resort to terrorism. 34/ 71. It is regrettable that the racism spread by Canadian racist groups can be exported: an amateur videotape broadcast by the CBC in January 1995 and filmed, according to Agence France-Presse, in Somalia in 1993, showed Canadian Blue Helmets uttering racist insults to Somalians, one of them saying: "We still haven’t killed enough Blacks". The Canadian authorities reacted speedily. Several Canadian soldiers were tried and convicted by military courts of the murder of a Somali adolescent and acts of torture committed at the same time in the Belet Uen detention camp in Somalia. 72. Negrophobia is also violently expressed in Europe. The death on 23 February 1995 in Marseilles of Ibrahim Ali, a French lycée student from the Comoros killed by billposters belonging to the National Front, a French extremeright party, when they fired a bullet into his back, is an extreme expression of this. The three members of the extreme right-wing party have been placed under investigation for murder, attempted murder and complicity. 73. In 1994, other violent racist acts were recorded: on 16 April, a man from Guadeloupe was seriously injured in Clermont by three inebriated youths; on 30 April in Saint-Ouen-L’Aumone, two militants from GUN (Groupe Union Nationaliste, an offshoot of the National Front for Youth) assaulted two residents of African origin living in a Sonacotra hostel.

On 16 June, approximately 10,000 persons demonstrated in Lisbon to protest racism in their country and the murder of their Black fellow countryman. 35/ The following day, two white Portuguese nationals were stabbed as a reaction, according to the police, to the murder of Monteiro. 75. Negrophobia also affects Germany, where in October 1994, a Nigerian was injured in several places when kicked and stabbed with a knife by a group of young skinheads. In the middle of September, an asylum seeker from Ghana was thrown from a commuter train by four men. He was found severely injured the following day on the tracks and had to have a leg amputated. 36/ 76. Violence by the police against Blacks also exists in Italy, where there were four cases of ill-treatment and unjustified arrests of three Zairians and a Nigerian, who were molested and humiliated by carabinieri. 37/ Although the victims lodged complaints following these incidents, the procedure was apparently successful only in the case of one of them, who had been savagely kicked and beaten with truncheons by three police officers and left unconscious /...
