The trial of the assassination of Samuel Paty
Four years after the assassination of Professor Samuel Paty, eight people, seven men and one woman, were prosecuted. Since Monday, November 4, these defendants have been appearing before the Special Assize Court of Paris. Two, Azim Epsirkhanov and Naim Boudaoud, are being prosecuted for complicity in terrorist assassination and face life imprisonment. Six others, including a woman, are being prosecuted for terrorist conspiracy and face 30 years of criminal imprisonment.
The interrogations of the personalities of these accused began on Tuesday and five of the eight accused already questioned have contested the facts with which they are now accused. Only one, Ismael Gamaev, admitted his “guilt”. “It’s the worst thing I’ve done in my life. I’m very ashamed of it,” he told the audience on Wednesday, November 6, before bursting into tears.
This Thursday, the court will proceed with the personality interrogation of the Islamist activist AbdelhaKim Sefrioui, an Islamist activist who had participated, with Brahim Chnani, the father of a student of Samuel Paty who is now being prosecuted, in a cyberharassment campaign against the teacher who must be questioned.

HELLO EVERYONE
Hello everyone, follow the trial of the assassination of Samuel Paty in this live broadcast.
His interrogation, initially scheduled for Wednesday morning, was postponed until Thursday at 2 p.m. due to the delay in the schedule. The accused will be directly questioned, because he refused to meet a personality investigator in detention so that the latter could write a report on his life journey.
It will then remain to hear a defendant on his CV: Yusuf Cinar. His interrogation was scheduled for Tuesday, but had to be postponed after the accused suffered a head injury. No date has been given yet.
