During a lengthy court hearing, Abdelhakim Sefrioui defended himself against accusations of inciting hatred towards Samuel Paty, the teacher murdered in 2020. Sefrioui, who asserts he had no role in Paty’s death, argues that his YouTube video did not influence the crime. He maintains he is a victim of circumstances, despite evidence suggesting otherwise. Sefrioui has been on trial for his role in promoting hate and has faced scrutiny for his statements regarding Paty. He rejects the label of radical Islamist, framing his actions as a defense of Palestinian rights.
