(France 24) Hundreds of French Jews and their supporters rallied in Paris on Sunday calling for justice for murdered Jewish woman Sarah Halimi, after a court of appeal ruled last month that her attacker was “not criminally responsible” for his actions.
Ms Halimi, 65, was brutally beaten and thrown out of the window of her apartment in Paris on April 4, 2017, by Kobili Traoré who lived in the same building as Halimi.
The court’s decision has sparked anger in the Jewish and wider French community, as many believe her killing to be an anti-Semitic act. In Paris on Sunday they gathered to demonstrate against the court ruling at the Place de la Republique and ending at Ms Halimi’s former home in Belleville in [the] city’s 11th arrondissement.
