The trial of the assassination of Samuel Paty

Third day at the trial for the assassination of Samuel Paty. This Wednesday, November 6, the court will, as it did the day before, look into the personality of the accused and their background. It will first be about Ismaïl Gamaev, a Russian of Chechen origin now aged 22, who published smiling smileys after the teacher's decapitated head was posted on his Snapchat group. He is also suspected of having “comforted Abdoullakh Anzorov” in his deadly project in the weeks preceding the act.

Brahim Chnina, father of the schoolgirl at the origin of the controversy over lessons taught by Samuel Paty and his presentation of caricatures of Mohammed, will succeed him. He is accused of having launched, with Islamist activist Abdelhakim Sefrioui, a cyberharassment campaign against the professor. The activist will be the last to be heard on his CV on Wednesday.
