(AFP) Three teenagers have been charged in France after a high-school girl received death threats for an expletive-laden social media rant against Islam, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
The case of 16-year-old Mila — who called Islam “a shitty religion” on an Instagram post that went viral — revived debate in France about freedom of speech and highlighted deep societal divisions on the topic.
Mila’s family was placed under police protection amid the fallout, and the girl had to change schools.
On Wednesday, prosecutor Audrey Quey said three teens — one aged 16 and two 17, have been charged in the case.
