Paris: France’s anti-terrorism court has convicted eight defendants in the beheading of a teacher four years ago. Your heart will tremble knowing this. According to reports, a teacher named Samuel Paty was beheaded outside his school near Paris. Courts have convicted eight people for this heinous crime. The murder was committed by Islamic extremists.
Let us tell you that Patty (47) was murdered by an Islamic extremist outside the school on October 16, 2020. Just a few days ago, Patty showed a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad during a class discussion on free speech. The attacker, an 18-year-old Russian of Chechen origin, was shot dead during a police operation. The defendants were tried before a special court in Paris. The defendants are accused in some cases of providing assistance to criminals before murders and of conducting hate campaigns online. When the verdict was pronounced in this case, the 540-seat courtroom was packed. During this period, security deployment was very tight.
2 criminals sentenced to 16 years in prison
Friends of the attacker, Naim Boudoud, 22, and Azim Apsirkhanov, 23, were found guilty of murder and were each sentenced to 16 years imprisonment. Budou is accused of driving the attacker to the school, while Apsilkhanov helped him purchase weapons. Brahim Chanina, 52, is the Muslim father of a schoolgirl whose lies led to Patty’s death. Brahim was sentenced to 13 years in prison for joining a terrorist organization. Muslim preacher Abdelhakim Sefrioui was sentenced to 15 years in prison for launching an online hate campaign against Paty.
Brahim’s 13-year-old daughter is the main witness in the case.
Brahim’s daughter was 13 when Patty was murdered. Her daughter claims she was kicked out of class when Patty showed the cartoon on October 5, 2020. Brahim sent multiple messages to his sources condemning Partey and saying Partey should be fired. He also sent Patty’s school address in the message, when in fact Brahim’s daughter had lied to him and had never attended a class where the cartoons were shown. Patty is teaching about free speech. In this context, he discussed cartoons and stated that students who did not want to watch cartoons could leave class for a period of time. After this, an online campaign was launched against Paty, and 11 days later, the teacher was beheaded by Abdullah Abizdovich Anzorov. (Associated Press)
