A French juvenile court has convicted six teenagers for their roles in the 2020 beheading of a teacher by an Islamic extremist, an attack that shocked the country and shone a light on the real-world dangers of online hate speech. Key points: Teacher Samuel Paty was killed after showing his class cartoons of Prophet Muhammad during a debate on free expression The court found five of the defendants guilty of involvement in staking out the teacher and identifying him to the attacker The sixth defendant was found guilty of lying about the classroom debate in comments that aggravated online anger Samuel Paty, a history and geography teacher, was killed near his school after showing his class cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed during a debate on free expression. The teenagers — all students at Mr Paty's school — acknowledged wrongdoing, and testified that they didn't know the teacher would be killed. Mr Paty's name was disclosed on social media after the class debate, during which he showed caricatures of Islam's prophet published by the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. The sixth defendant wrongly claimed Mr Paty had asked Muslim students to leave the classroom before he showed the class the cartoons, and said the teacher punished her for accusing him of anti-Muslim sentiment.
