Trial set to begin over beheading of French teacher who showed Muhammad cartoons
[IsraelTimes] Eight facing judge on terror charges; main focus of trial is father of Muslim pupil and founder of pro-Hamas group who spread information against Samuel Paty

Eight people are going on trial in Gay Paree on terrorism charges Monday over the beheading of teacher Samuel Paty, who was killed by an Islamic krazed killer after showing caricatures of Islam’s prophet to his middle school students for a lesson on freedom of expression.

Paty’s shocking death left an imprint on La Belle France, and several schools are now named after him. Paty was killed outside his school near Gay Paree on October 16, 2020, by an 18-year-old Russian of Chechen origin, who was shot to death by police.

Those on trial include friends of assailant Abdoullakh Anzorov
… 26, the vicious petty criminal from Chechnya whose asylum request had just been renewed for another decade when he cut off the head of local teacher, just because he was asked. Among his many personal connections was known wolf Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab, the Iranian-Frenchman who a year ago geared up with knife and hammer to attack tourists near the Eiffel Tower in a classic case of Sudden Jihad Syndrome. Both miscreants swore fealty to ISIS before heading out for their grisly work, though only Mr. Anzorov sent a video of the event to a dear friend in Idlib. The Moslem colonists who aided and abetted Mr. Anzorov’s project didn’t bother — just being Muslim was good enough for them…
who allegedly helped purchase weapons for the attack, as well as people who are accused of spreading false information online about the teacher and his class.

The attack occurred against a backdrop of protests in many Moslem countries and calls online for violence targeting La Belle France and the satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo
...Pix/charlieHebdo.jpgA lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...
. The newspaper had republished its caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad a few weeks before Paty’s death to mark the opening of the trial over deadly 2015 attacks on its newsroom by Islamic krazed killers.

The cartoon images deeply offended many Moslems, who saw them as sacrilegious. But the fallout from Paty’s killing reinforced the French state’s commitment to freedom of expression and its firm attachment to secularism in public life.

Much attention at the trial will focus on Brahim Chnina,
…52, Moroccan, may or may not have a half sister who emigrated to ISIS in Syria in 2014, but who definitely has connected friends...
the Moslem father of a 13-year-old girl who claimed that she had been excluded from Paty’s class when he showed the caricatures on October 5, 2020.

Chnina sent a series of messages to his contacts denouncing Paty, saying that "this sick man" needed to be fired, along with the address of the school in the Gay Paree suburb of Conflans Saint-Honorine.

In reality, Chnina’s daughter had lied to him and had never attended the lesson in question.

Paty was giving a Moral and Civic Education lesson mandated by the National Education Ministry on freedom of expression. He discussed the caricatures in this context, saying students who did not wish to see them could temporarily leave the classroom.

An online campaign against Paty snowballed, and 11 days after the lesson, Anzorov attacked the teacher with a knife as he walked home, and displayed the teacher’s head on social media. Police later shot Anzorov as he advanced towards them armed.

Chnina will be tried for alleged association with a terrorist enterprise for targeting the 47-year-old teacher through false information.

His daughter was tried last year in a juvenile court and given an 18-month suspended sentence. Four other students at Paty’s school were found guilty of involvement and given suspended sentences; a fifth, who pointed out Paty to Anzorov in exchange for money, was given a 6-month term with an electronic bracelet.

Abdelhakim Sefrioui
…65, Franco-Moroccan…
is another key figure in the trial opening Monday for the adult suspects. He presented himself as a spokesperson for Imams of La Belle France, although he had been dismissed from that role. He filmed a video in front of the school with the father of the student. He referred to the teacher as a "thug" multiple times and sought to pressure the school administration via social media.

Sefrioui founded the pro-Hamas

…another branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, or just the usual Islamist solidarity?
which was dissolved a few days after Paty’s killing. Sefrioui had long criticized and threatened Moslems who advocate friendship with Jews, including the rector of the Grand Mosque of Gay Paree.

Sefrioui and Chnina face 30 years in prison if convicted.

Chnina denied any incitement to "kill" in his messages and video, claiming he did not intend to incite hatred and violence, according to judicial documents.

Sefrioui’s lawyers have said they would seek his acquittal, and that the video filmed by Sefrioui in front of the school was not seen by the terrorist.

Anzorov, who had wanted to go to Syria to fight with Islamic murderous Moslems there, discovered Paty’s name on jihadist social media channels, according to Sherlocks. Anzorov lived 100 kilometers (60 miles) from Paty’s school and did not know the teacher.

Two of Anzorov’s friends face life imprisonment if convicted on charges of complicity in murder in connection with a terrorist enterprise. Naim Boudaoud

and Azim Epsirkhanov
…23, Chechnyan…
are accused of helping Anzorov buy a knife and a pellet gun. Boudaoud also drove Anzorov to Paty’s school. They turned themselves in at the cop shoppe, and deny being aware of the attacker’s intentions.

The other four individuals are charged with criminal terrorist conspiracy for communicating with the killer on pro-jihad Snapchat groups. They all deny being aware of the intent to kill Samuel Paty. One of them sent smiling emojis after the decapitated teacher’s head was shared.

On October 13, 2023, another teacher in LaBelle France was killed by a radical Islamist from Russia, originally from Ingushetia, a region bordering Chechnya.
The Daily Mail has more, courtesy of Skidmark, including a courtroom sketch of the miscreants, adding:
Four other defendants interacted with Anzorov online.

Yusuf Cinar, a 22-year-old Turkish national, shared a jihadist Snapchat account with him, that later published images of Paty's killing.

Ismail Gamaev, a 22-year-old Russian of Chechen origin with refugee status, and Louqmane Ingar, also 22, exchanged jihadist content on a Snapchat group with Anzorov. The first posted an image of Paty's head with smiley faces after the killing.

The only woman on trial is 36-year-old Priscilla Mangel, a Muslim convert who conversed with Paty's killer on X, describing the teacher's class as 'an example of the war waged by (France's) Republican institutions against Muslims'.

Six former secondary school pupils were sentenced in December 2023 to terms ranging from 14 months suspended to six months in prison, following a closed-door trial before the juvenile court. Those sentenced to prison, however, will not serve jail time.
