French politician and member of the National Assembly for the 4th constituency of Hauts-de-Seine. She sits with the Écologiste et Social group and serves as a secretary of the National Assembly.
Case
France’s National Assembly approved a rebuttable presumption that police and gendarmes who fire their weapons acted within the law. The government calls it procedural protection; rights bodies warn about investigations and accountability.
Role at the time: Member and secretary of the National Assembly, Écologiste et Social group
Statement summary
Sebaihi opposed the proposal, saying it reverses the burden of proof and protects neither professional police officers nor the people they serve.
“Elle crée une présomption de légitime défense qui inverse la charge de la preuve, fondement de notre système judiciaire. Cette proposition de loi ne protège ni les policiers [...] ni nos concitoyens qu’ils sont censés protéger.”
She expressly described the proposal as dangerous, said it would reinforce impunity and called for its withdrawal. That is explicit condemnation of the fixed reference point.
