European Court Rules Against France in Racial Profiling Case

European Court Rules Against France in Racial Profiling Case

Imagine the police kept stopping someone just because of how they look.

That's what happened to a man named Karim in France.

A big court in Europe said the police were wrong to do this because it was unfair.

The court said France has to pay Karim some money.

The court also looked at other people who said the police treated them unfairly, but the court didn't have enough proof to agree with them.

A recent study showed that the police in France are more likely to stop people who appear to be Black or from Arab or North African countries.

This ruling is a reminder that everyone should be treated the same by the law.
