In Strasbourg, trial for assault on three Jewish students: violence confirmed, antisemitism dismissed
Two young women were tried on Monday for an assault that occurred in January 2024 in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with the aggravating circumstance of antisemitism not being upheld at the hearing.
Two young women appeared on Monday, September 14, before the courts in Strasbourg for the assault of three Jewish students, which took place in January 2024, according to Le Monde.
This assault had occurred in a context of tensions linked to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the newspaper notes.
According to Le Monde, the aggravating circumstance of antisemitism, initially considered, was dropped during the investigation and was not upheld at the hearing.
The acts of violence against the three students were, however, confirmed, the newspaper indicates, without an antisemitic motive being established before the court.
Le Monde does not specify, in the available excerpt, the sentences sought or the final decision rendered by the court.
