Squipment after murder of teachers: Eight perpetrators for hate campaign punished!

In a shocking judgment, a French court condemned eight people for their role in the cruel murder of the teacher Samuel Paty. The 47-year-old was brutally murdered in front of his school in Paris in 2020 after showing caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed during a teaching discussion about freedom of expression. An online hate campaign led to this incredible crime that shook the nation.

The Pariser Sonder Court expressed its judgments on Friday, and the atmosphere in the courtroom was tense. The judges imposed in prison between one and 16 years against the accused, who were held responsible for the organization of a hate campaign, which ultimately led to the beheading of Paty by an 18-year-old Russian origin. This was shot by the police at the crime scene.

The main actors of the crime

Among the convicts are Naim Boudaoud, 22, and Azim Epsirkhanov, 23, both of whom were sentenced to 16 years in prison. Boudaoud was accused of driving the attacker Abdoullakh Anzorov to school while Epsirkhanov helped him get weapons. Abdelhakim Seprioui, a 65-year-old Muslim preacher, received 15 years in prison for organizing an online hate campaign against Paty and for the fact that he described him in a video as a "racket". His lawyer has already announced that it would appeal against the judgment.

Brahim Chnina, 52, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for associated with a "terrorist company". He had published videos in which he incorrectly accused Paty of having punished his daughter for a complaint about the lessons and named the teacher and identified his school. The other four defendants, who were part of a network of sympathizers of Auforov, were also condemned to the spread of repealed content on the Internet.

a judgment with far -reaching consequences

The public prosecutor emphasized the severity of the deeds: "Nobody says that they wanted Samuel Paty. But by lit out thousands of ignition cords online, they knew that one of them would lead to ... violence against the blasphemic teacher." This judgment represents the final chapter in the process of the murder of Paty.

The reactions to the judgment were mixed. Gaelle Paty, the murdered teacher's sister, made a moving and relieved manner: "The word 'guilty' - that is what I needed," she told the reporters before the court. Her voice trembled when she added: "It was difficult to hear, but now the judge has explained what really happened, and that feels good."

The families of the accused reacted with horror - there were screams, complaints and ironic clapping, which forced the judge to ask for peace several times. "You lied through my brother," called a relative, while another woman called out of tears: "You took my baby" before being escorted by police officers from the courtroom.
