A Muslim schoolgirl in France has admitted that she lied about her teaching being “Islamophobic,” a claim that ultimately led to his decapitation by a jihadist.
Samuel Paty, a 47-year-old history and geography teacher, was murdered in October 2020, by an 18-year-old jihadist of Chechen origin.
The perpetrator, Abdoullakh Anzorov, identified Paty as a target after seeing a harassment campaign against him on social media. He was killed shortly after committing the heinous crime.
According to France24 the schoolgirl, who still cannot be named due to being a minor, claimed that Paty had ordered her out of the classroom before showing the rest of the class Charlie Hebdo.
