French teens convicted in connection with beheading of teacher who showed caricatures of Mohammed

And very lenient sentences they are too. Some adults are due for trial shortly. From the Telegraph

A French court on Friday convicted six teenagers in connection with the beheading of history teacher Samuel Paty whose murder in 2020 shocked the country.

Among those on trial was a teenage girl who had allegedly told her parents that Paty had asked Muslim pupils to leave the room before showing the caricatures.

The court found her guilty of having made false accusation charges and slanderous comments, as it was established that she was not in the class at the time.

The other adolescents were found guilty of charges related to taking part in a premeditated criminal conspiracy and helping to prepare an ambush.

The court found those adolescents guilty of having pointed out Paty to the murderer.

The heaviest sentence was given to an adolescent who was formally given a 6-month prison sentence, although he should be able to serve this at home while under electronic surveillance.

The girl who was found guilty of making false accusations and slanderous comments was given an 18-month suspended sentence and put on probation measures for two years.

There are several stories in the French press tonight about other teachers in French schools threatened by Muslim pupils and parents. An art teacher who asked the class to consider a neo-classical scene; another who was professionally neutral on current affairs and not anti-Israel. About which more tomorrow.
