During a special court session in Paris, the defense for Abdelhakim Sefrioui argued for his acquittal, claiming no connection to Brahim Chnina or the terrorist attack on teacher Samuel Paty. Sefrioui’s lawyers emphasized a lack of evidence linking him to the crime, despite accusations of inciting hatred. The prosecution contends there was a coordinated campaign against Paty. The defense also raised concerns about a key figure, Farrouk Faizimtov, whose potential influence remains unproven. The outcome of the trial is keenly awaited amidst public scrutiny.
