Accompanied by a friend whom he had come to visit in Mazamet (Tarn), the victim was attacked on September 21 by around ten young people who beat him after learning of his homosexuality.
Political reactions
The affair aroused numerous indignant reactions, including those of the then Secretary of State in charge of the fight against discrimination, Othman Nasrou, of the Stop Homophobia association and even of the PS president of the Occitanie region, Carole Delga .
The three minors were convicted of violence in meetings and of a homophobic nature. Two young girls were also found guilty on Wednesday of violence and theft against the victim’s friend. They were sentenced to judicial educational measures.
