Four people who were imprisoned for their involvement in the murder of a French teacher in October 2020 will be back in court in Paris on Monday to appeal their convictions. Samuel Paty was beheaded by a Chechen Islamist, following an online campaign of hatred and intimidation.
At the end of the initial trial, in November and December 2024, the seven men and one woman who appeared in court were found guilty and sentenced to between one and 16 years in prison.
