(Swiss Info) The Swiss scholar Tariq Ramadan will stand trial at a Paris criminal court for rapes alleged to have taken place between 2009 and 2016, two judges decided on Friday.
The judges, however, partially dismissed allegations made by two of the four women who had made the accusations.
Laure Heinich, who is defending three of these women, said her clients were delighted with the judges’ decision and “the obviously meticulous work” done by the magistrates. Another lawyer for the women, Laura Ben Kemoun, added that the plaintiffs were “relieved and ready for what lies ahead.”
