Muslim Girl Admits She Lied About French Teacher Who Was Branded An Islamophobe And Beheaded

The girl was charged with slander, while her father, who accused the teacher of Islamophobia online and spreading "pornographic images", was charged in the killing. The teenager's lawyer insists her father and not the girl should be punished for the death of the schoolteacher.

A 13-year-old girl has admitted to lying about a French schoolteacher who was beheaded by a Muslim immigrant last October, Le Parisien reported. The Muslim teenager only known as Z did not want her father to learn that she was suspended for skipping classes so she told him that her history and geography teacher Samuel Paty, 47, had suspended her from classes after she had a disagreement with him over his plan to show students caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad during a lesson on free speech.

More than a week later the lie led to a chain of events that culminated in the gruesome murder of the teacher.
