Verdicts expected for eight people on trial over their role in the beheading of a teacher in France
The Statesman Bhubaneswar|December 21, 2024
Eight people accused of assisting an Islamic extremist who beheaded a French history teacher will hear the verdicts in their cases Friday, more than four years after the death of Samuel Paty outside his school.

Paty was killed near Paris on 16 October 2020, days after showing his class cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad during a debate on free expression. The assailant, an 18-year-old Russian of Chechen origin, was shot to death by police.

Those who have been on trial on terrorism charges at a special court in Paris since the end of November are accused, in some cases, of providing assistance to the perpetrator and, in others, of organizing a hate campaign online before the murder took place.

The shocking death of the 47-year-old Paty left an imprint on France, and several schools are now named after him.
