French survivor group condemns memes using picture of accessory to terrorists Video of Jawad Bendaoud went viral as users attached 'amusing' captions

(National-UAE) A survivors’ group for victims of the 2015 Paris attacks has condemned the use of a video of Jawad Bendaoud, the jailed accessory to the terrorists responsible, for memes.

Life for Paris said the memes, in which Twitter users post a video showing Bendaoud walking into court, for which others provide captions, were not funny.

The memes “do not make Life for Paris laugh. They shouldn’t make anyone laugh,” the group said.

Bendaoud was sentenced in March to four years in prison on charges of helping the November 13 Paris attackers escape arrest or detection.

Abdelhamid Abaaoud, Chakib Akrouh and Hasna Ait Boulahcen hid in his flat on the outskirts of Paris after they and other gunmen and suicide bombers killed 130 people.
