Thousands are expected to join a silent march in the southern French port city of Marseille on Saturday in tribute to 20-year-old Mehdi Kessaci, who was shot dead on 13 November.
The killing of Kessaci is being treated as an act of intimidation linked to his brother Amine’s anti-drug crime activism, and has put Marseille's long-running battle with narco-violence back at the forefront of national politics.
