| | Amadou Diallo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | On April 18, 2000, Diallo's mother, Kadiatou, and his stepfather, Sankarella Diallo (Diallo is a very common name in Guinea and Mauritania), filed an $81,000,000 (USD) lawsuit against the City of New York and the officers, charging gross negligence, wrongful death, racial profiling, and other violations of Diallo's civil rights. | | | In 2001 the Justice Department announced that it would not charge the officers with having violated Diallo's civil rights. | | | Kadiatou and Sankarella Diallo remained in the United States, particularly in New York City as self-appointed activists, although their visas to stay in the U.S., which had been extended several times, recently expired and were apparently not renewed. |
