(AFP) French lawmakers and officials joined dozens of people who gathered in Paris on Friday in a show of support for a school principal who resigned after receiving death threats in a hijab row.
This week the headmaster at the Maurice-Ravel senior school in eastern Paris quit after receiving death threats online following an altercation with a student last month.
His departure sparked outrage, with Prime Minister Gabriel Attal saying France would seek to defend secularism.
On Friday morning around 50 people gathered in front of the school in the French capital’s 20th district, heeding the call from the Socialist Party, an AFP journalist saw.
