Karim Touil
Karim Touil is a French national who became a significant figure in a landmark legal case regarding discriminatory identity checks. After experiencing three identity checks within ten days in 2011, he challenged the French government for what he deemed racial profiling. In June 2024, the European Court of Human Rights ruled in his favor, stating that the French authorities failed to provide a reasonable justification for targeting him and recognized a presumption of discriminatory treatment. This ruling marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing fight against racial profiling in France, highlighting issues of discrimination and the right to privacy.
