Eight sentenced in France in connection with murder of teacher Samuel Paty

Al Jazeera  

Teacher was stabbed and beheaded outside his school in Paris in 2020 after an online hate campaign. The Paris Special Assize Court handed down prison terms ranging from one to 16 years to the defendants, who were convicted of organising a hate campaign that culminated in the beheading of 47-year-old Samuel Paty outside his school in Paris in 2020 by an 18-year-old Russian of Chechen origin, who was shot dead by police at the scene. Abdelhakim Sefrioui, a 65-year-old Muslim preacher, was given 15 years for organising a hate campaign online against Paty and denouncing Paty in a video as a “thug”. “Nobody is saying that they wanted Samuel Paty to die,” prosecutor Nicholas Braconnay had told the court. “But by lighting thousands of fuses online, they knew that one of them would lead to … violence against the blasphemous teacher.” ‘Moved and relieved’ The verdict marks the final chapter of the Paty trial.
