His name is Ahmed, he is 8 years old and goes to school in Nice on the French Riviera in the south of France. Until now, it was a small French like the others, but the comments he allegedly made in class on January 8, the day after the massacre perpetrated in the drafting of Charlie Hebdo in Paris, have resulted in a history of which it necessarily excludes issues. After the emotional shock of the attack, a minute of silence was held on Thursday over France, and teachers were invited to talk about the tragedy, as appropriate, with their students. According to Professor Ahmed CE2, the child refused to observe a minute of silence and told "I am with the terrorists."
To introduce the class discussion, the teacher asked the students would "Are you Charlie?" Ahmed reportedly replied "No". "Why?" "Because they have caricatured the Prophet." Director of the school, alerted, summoned the child and his father; would have returned several times in the facility. It is then that things are packed ... "In the current context, says the director of public safety of the Alpes-Maritimes, Marcel Authier, the school's director decided to report what happened to the police. " To report following the incident, it should "take tweezers" because the statements are contradictory. The lawyer of the family of Ahmed, Me Sefen Guez Guez says the father and child were summoned to a police station in Nice yesterday, Wednesday, January 28, after the filing of a complaint from the management of the school for "condoning acts of terrorism."
"We called them to try to understand how an 8 year old boy may have to hold about as radical," says Authier Commissioner, who, however, denies that a complaint has been filed. "The police lying!" Accuses the lawyer in a tweet that he signs Ibn Salah S. (It confirms the signature). He writes: "The child is charged with condoning terrorist act. It's in black and white on the PV I signed. " The Ministry of Education says his side a complaint has been filed against the student's father but for "intrusion" into the school. Me Sefen Guez Guez does not hide his anger: "Placing a child of 8 years free hearing, ie the current state hysteria around this concept of glorification of terrorism"; "In such cases, he believes, must pedagogy." According to the Nice police, the hearing of Ahmed lasted half an hour, and then, while his father was heard in turn, the child is busy with toys.
This unfortunate story reveals many legitimate trauma that persists in France following the black week she experienced early January (marked by various attacks committed by jihadi terrorists, who killed 17 people), but above the challenges will have to meet the country: the role of the republican school precisely but also the responsibility of parents, religious authorities, the firmness of the authorities to ensure security, to uphold secularism, to fight relentlessly against anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, but moderation and reason for not falling into psychosis and the confrontation of different communities. "The case of Ahmed" is already spreading like wildfire on social networks and the Internet. The Collective against Islamophobia in France said he was "deeply shocked of such treatment." The lawyer Sefen Guez Guez is loose on his Twitter account, under the pseudonym S. Ibn Salah: "Once I get out of the comic, I think I'll make some noise." And politicians like Christian Estrosi, Mayor of Nice, or Eric Ciotti, President of the General Council of the Alpes-Maritimes, go there with their little comments ...
