Cet article évoque les contradictions du système judiciaire anglais et de la classe politique concernant les droits des citoyens issus des communautés minoritaires, notamment musulmanes. Qu’il s’agisse des violences faites aux femmes, l’interprétation des droits matrimoniaux ou la défense d’un communautarisme sectaire, les tribunaux anglais se montrent parfois disposés à tolérer un comportement citoyen caractérisé par le particularisme et l’inégalité. Le rapport de Lord Scarman après les émeutes de Brixton, suivi par celui de Lord Macpherson sur la mort de l’adolescent Stephen Lawrence, auraient ouvert la porte à une interprétation du racisme qui freine la volonté d’intervenir au sein de certaines minorités de la part des autorités, et constitueraient un défi au principe égalitaire qui sous-tend la conception de la citoyenneté. |
