Girl in France was beaten into coma by classmates for wearing "un-Islamic" clothing

The French government has launched an urgent investigation after a 14-year-old girl was severely wounded and left in a coma after being beaten outside her school by three other teenagers in the south of France.

The three alleged attackers, including a girl who was at the same school as the victim in the suburbs of the southern city of Montpellier, have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of a minor.

 

The incident comes at a time of heightened tensions around French schools and after dozens of messages threatening attacks were sent through an internal messaging system.

The victim, named as Samara, had come out of her coma but was "seriously wounded" in the attack on Tuesday afternoon outside Arthur Rimbaud college in the district of La Mosson-La Paillade, prosecutors said.

One of the accused is a girl from the same school, also 14, who was arrested on Wednesday and admits to having beaten the victim, the prosecutors said in a statement on Wednesday. The two other minors arrested are aged 14 and 15.

Nicole Belloubet, the education minister, ordered an investigation by inspectors from her ministry who would have eight working days starting from Friday to report back on the circumstances surrounding the attack. "This mission will aim both to establish the reality of the facts and to establish responsibilities,” she told BFMTV, adding that Samara was owed "the truth".

Her mother, Hassiba, said in media interviews that her daughter had been bullied by a fellow pupil for two and a half years, raising the possibility this could have been over her behaviour and clothing being deemed un-Islamic.

"I don't actually understand this child's reasons for constantly attacking Samara, but there is something. I think it's … the fact that she [Samara] … is maybe a little more liberated than some students,” she told BFMTV.

She accused this classmate of being the "sponsor" of the attack and claimed that this schoolgirl had been suspended for two days in June 2023, in particular after having published a photo of her daughter on social networks calling for her to be raped.

In televised comments, the president, Emmanuel Macron, expressed "solidarity" with the girl but urged caution in drawing conclusions about the circumstances of the attack. "At this stage I would be wary of categorising things and I want the full truth to be established in calm and the conclusions to be drawn then,” he said.

Horrifying. Sending love to that poor girl.

How an ideology this dangerous hasn't been banned is beyond me. I wish the poor girl a fast, complete recovery and that the attackers will get the punishment they deserve.

Wait, Do they know Rimbaud was an openly gay poet in 19th-century France? Anyway what shocks me is how they weren't arrested the moment social media posts were posted. Those aren't innocuous posts, they are threats.

Agreed. Cyberbullying, harassment, and threats should be included as well other than attempted murder of a minor.

It depends on what was written but generally, they are since they're no different from death threats. How didn't anybody notice that? They should have reported that to the police.

Any kind of religion is just a curtain, where idiots can hide and justify their crimes. That's it.

If it was banned - whatever it means to somehow ban a religion - then this girl who was attacked and her family would quite literally not be living in France.

It's horrific how reactionaries and conservatives feel entitled to control how others live, let alone when something like religion and faith are so innately personal.

 

Not only have they now alienated this girl and her family from their own community (why would anyone take life advise from someone who alnost killed them?), but will have made it inadvertently harder to be Muslim in places like France where such ultra-conservative and violent interpretations of Islam give cover to those who wish to racially abuse and antagonize even liberal Muslims. Such a gross display of ignorance and biting one's nose to spite one's face.

No, send them back to their country; it's a far worse punishment than prison.

Common culture enrichment in West Europe.

 

Poland is the last safe place in the EU tbh. :giraffe: Polska Gurom!
