Paris, France, October 26 2009: Makasse Diakite was let out of the hospital today after being treated for a heart attack. While boarding a bus , a sharp acceleration contorted her body to the point where she collapsed. She claims the bus driver was aware of her sickness and did not immediately react to the accident out of racism. On the same day that she was released from the hospital she received her papers, which she is holding in her hand at the collective des sans papiers. Born on the 26th of August 1964, she moved to France in 2001. It took 8 years for her to be given papers.
