(Radio France) Tuesday’s hearing at the Special Criminal Court was delayed for several hours because nine of the eleven prisoners accused of involvement in the November 2015 Paris terrorist attacks refused to take their places in the glass security enclosure. They were protesting in support of Muhammad Usman, one of their number, who says he has been refused medical treatment.
Justice and solidarity
Solidarity was the key word at the Paris attacks trial on Tuesday.
While the majority of the accused decided to boycott the hearing in solidarity with Muhammad Usman who is unwell, the closing remarks of the lawyers who represent the survivors and the families of victims had chosen “solidarity” as the central theme of their presentation.
