Malik Oussekine (1964 – 6 December 1986) was a French-Algerian student. He had been nearby mass student protests in Paris opposing university reforms (the so-called "Devaquet Law") and proposed immigration restrictions when he was chased and beaten by police. Oussekine was transported to a nearby hospital where he was soon pronounced dead, though it was later revealed that he had died on the spot. News of his death intensified the protests, and the laws were scrapped two days later.^[1]
