Heated political debate

The French public has long been discussing the “Affaire Mila”, the “Fall Mila”. The debate was heated up after the French Islamic Council CFCM justified the threats against the student.

Thereupon Marlène Schiappa, the French State Secretary for Women’s Rights, spoke up. She described Zekri’s reaction as “unworthy” and “criminal”. Justice Minister Nicole Belloubet sees it differently, saying on the Europe 1 transmitter that the insult to religion is a “freedom of conscience”. The youth lawyer called the comment shocking. The FAZ reports that the Justice Minister is parroting Islamist propaganda that wants to punish blasphemy. The Minister of Justice then corrected her statement.

Procedure for “hate speech” withdrawn

Two investigations have been initiated, one of which has already been withdrawn; the one that was about whether Mila’s statements could be rated as “hate speech”. The second trial against those who spread death threats against the 16-year-old is ongoing.
