Thousands gathered in Marseille Saturday to mourn the 20-year-old brother of a prominent anti-drugs activist murdered earlier this month, and to protest against the ongoing drug trafficking violence plaguing the French city.
Mehdi Kessaci was killed by two gunmen on Nov. 13 while he was in his car.
He was the younger brother of Amine Kessaci, a 22-year-old well known anti-drug trafficking activist who already lost an older brother in a drug related execution five years ago.
Medhi Kessaci didn't have any police record and was preparing to become a policeman, he family said.
