PARIS - France will pay tribute Wednesday to a history teacher beheaded for showing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in a free-speech lesson in an attack that has shocked the country and prompted a government crackdown on radical Islam.
He had been the subject of an online hate campaign after he showed pupils cartoons of the Prophet in a civics class - the same images that sparked a bloody assault on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo five years ago. Mosque closed Among those due to appear on Wednesday was a disgruntled parent from Paty's school, who had fired up anger about his lesson through messages on social media, urging"mobilisation" against the teacher.More on this topic The material he uploaded was widely shared, including by a mosque in the northern Paris suburb of Pantin, which the government will close on Wednesday for six months for spreading material likely to provoke"hatred and violence".
Hamas said in a statement on Wednesday it had"no links" to the collective and Sefrioui had no"organisational relationship" with the Palestinian movement. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin has vowed there would be"not a minute's respite for enemies of the Republic" in the wake of Paty's murder.
