The murder of Samuel Paty (French pronunciation: [samɥɛl pati]), a French middle-school teacher, took place on 16 October 2020 in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, a suburb of Paris. Paty was killed and beheaded by an Islamic terrorist.

The perpetrator, Abdoullakh Abouyedovich Anzorov, an 18-year-old Muslim Russian refugee of Chechen ethnicity, killed and beheaded Paty with a cleaver. Anzorov was shot and killed by police minutes later. Paty had, in a class on freedom of expression, shown his students Charlie Hebdo's 2012 cartoons depicting the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[neutrality is disputed][1][2][3] One of the cartoons portrays Muhammad naked with his genitals exposed.[4] These cartoons were seen by many Muslims as offensive.[5][6] A social media campaign against Paty was linked to his subsequent murder.[7] Seven people, including an imam, a parent of a student, and two students at Paty's school have been charged with assisting the killer.[7]

French president Emmanuel Macron said that the incident was "a typical Islamist terrorist attack", and that "our compatriot was killed for teaching children freedom of speech". The murder was one of several attacks in France in recent years, and it created debate in French society and politics. The murder was the second terrorist attack in France during the 2020 trial [fr] at which alleged accomplices to the Charlie Hebdo shooting and the January 2015 Île-de-France attacks are arraigned for terrorism targeting the cartoons' publishers.[8] Several Islamic countries, including Turkey, Iran, Jordan and Kuwait and leaders as well as the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation denounced the attack and condemned the publication of the cartoons.[9] The response of the French government has been criticized by Islamists, including Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who have called for a boycott of French goods.[9][10]

Background

See also: Islamic terrorism § France

Victim

Samuel Paty (French pronunciation: [samɥɛl pati]) was born on 18 September 1973 in Moulins, Allier.[11][12][13] He attended Théodore de Banville High School,[14] Lumière University Lyon 2 and the IUFM, Lyon.[15] Paty was a middle-school teacher of history, geography, and civics who taught for five years at the Collège Bois-d'Aulne, in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, France, a suburb 30 kilometres (19 mi) north-west of central Paris.[16][17] He lived ten minutes away from the middle school, in the small town of Éragny, Val-d'Oise.[18] He was married and the father of a five-year-old boy.[18][19][20]

Perpetrator

The perpetrator, Abdoullakh Abouyedovich Anzorov, was an 18-year-old Russian immigrant of Chechen ethnic descent, born in Moscow, Russia.[21][22] Chechnya is a Muslim-majority republic and federal subject of the Russian Federation.[23]

Anzorov came to France with refugee status 12 years earlier as a six-year-old boy.[17][24] He lived in La Madeleine district of the Normandy town of Évreux, about 100 km (62 miles) from the murder scene, and had no apparent connection with the teacher or the school.[25][26]

The Anzorov family came from the village of Shalazhi in Chechnya. Abdoullakh's father Abuezid moved first to Moscow, and then to Paris. Anzorov's half-sister joined ISIS in Syria in 2014.[27][28] In March 2020, the family had received refugee status and 10-year residency cards in France.[16][29] Abdoullakh was not noticed by security agencies, though he had previously been in court on minor misdemeanour charges.[30][31]

Before the attack, he was in communication with two unidentified jihadists in Syria, including a Russian-speaking one, located through their IP addresses at Idlib, Syria, the last jihadist bastion of the country, under the control of the Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham organization,[32] which denied responsibility for the attack.[33] He claimed responsibility for the attack just after it in an audio message in Russian in which he says he is ready to be a "shahid" (martyr) and that he had "avenged the prophet" upon Samuel Paty who had "showed him in an insulting manner". In a video broadcast on Instagram, among others, he referred to the Islamic State.[34][35] He said "Brothers, pray that Allah accepts me as a martyr".[35]

Abdullakh Anzorov's family say they do not understand his action. His father, a night worker, "seems to have lost control of his teenager." Abdullakh Anzorov recently showed signs of radicalization. He had posted on August 30 on his Twitter account created on June 8, "a photomontage depicting the beheading of a man". This account had been reported to the plataform Pharos , without resulting in targeting[36]. On September 13, 2020, he was noticed by posting a "thread" on his twitter account in which he denounced "the disbelief of the Saudi state, of its leaders, as well as all those who support them": he qualified there including the UNU, UNESCO, WTO, Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab League of "idols worshiped besides Allah"[37]. While he was already showing signs of radicalization, Anzorov had made two requests for training from the National Council for Private Security Activities which had been refused "because of his involvement in acts of violence". Investigators do not know if these requests had been made to be able to access sensitive sites.[38]

Events leading up to the murder

Paty taught a moral and civic education course in early October 2020 on freedom of expression, in accord with the French national curriculum.[39] He showed some of his teenage students a caricature of Muhammad from the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo during a class discussion about freedom of speech.[40][41][29] Before showing the caricature, Paty had invited Muslim students to leave the classroom if they wished.[29] According to one student, he had previously shown these cartoons as part of the discussion every year since the Charlie Hebdo shooting in 2015.[42] In some Sunni sects of Islam, any depiction of Muhammad is considered blasphemous.[40]

According to some sources, Paty showed two cartoons to his students, one of which portrayed Muhammad naked[43] with his genitals exposed,[44] although accounts differ on precisely what was presented in the classroom.[45] Brahim Chnina,[46] a female student's father, accused Paty of disseminating pornography to students and filed a criminal complaint with the police.[47][48] Paty responded by filing a complaint of defamation.[47] Chnina claimed on YouTube and Facebook that Paty had displayed an image of Muhammad nude; he named Paty, and gave the school's address.[49][50] He encouraged other parents to join him in action and mobilise against the teacher, whom he described as a thug.[29][51][52]

The Grande Mosque de Pantin published a video on its Facebook page a week before the murder. Abdelhakim Sefrioui [fr], the imam of the mosque, a member of the Conseil des imams de France, and an Islamist militant known to French anti-terrorism police,[42][53] accompanied the parent in his protest against the teacher in front of the school for showing the caricatures and demanding to meet the school's principal.[54] Sefrioui called the teacher a "thug" in a video (French: voyou[54]), while denouncing the administration of the college. He demanded the teacher's exclusion from high school with the rectorate. The term "thug" had been repeatedly used by the parent Brahim Chnani earlier. The videos were taken down in the hours after the murder.[55]

Chnina also filed a complaint with the school, and encouraged people to protest at the school.[31] A meeting was held between the head teacher, the teacher, and an official from the education authority.[29] Chnina additionally filed a legal complaint about Paty's lesson, leading the teacher to go to the local police station accompanied by the principal.[29] Paty told investigators he could not understand the complaint because Chnina's daughter was not in class on the day Paty showed the cartoon.[29]

Murder

A week and a half after Paty's freedom-of-speech class on 16 October 2020, Anzorov, having been driven to Paty's school by an alleged accomplice, waited outside the gates and asked a number of students to point out the teacher.[56][57] He paid two students, aged 14 and 15, around 300€ to identify Paty; the two then waited with Anzorov for some two hours until they sighted Paty leaving.[58] A Friday, it was the last schoolday before a two-week holiday.[59] Anzorov had told them he intended "hit" and "humiliate" Paty; according to France's chief terrorism prosecutor, Jean-François Ricard, in order to "make him apologise for the cartoon of the Prophet [Muhammad]".[58]

Anzorov then followed Paty as he left the school.[56][57] Using a knife 30 centimetres (12 in) long, Anzorov killed Paty and beheaded him in a street near the school where Paty taught, at approximately 5:00 p.m.[57][60][61] In addition to decapitating Paty, Anzorov inflicted a number of wounds to his head, abdomen, and upper limbs.[60][62] Witnesses told police they heard the killer shout "Allahu Akbar" (the Takbir) during the attack.[63][64]

Minutes after the murder, the pseudonym @Tchetchene_270 (French: Chechen 270), identified by prosecutor Jean-François Ricard as belonging to Abdoullakh Anzorov, posted on Twitter an image of Paty's severed head. The photo was posted with the message: "In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful, ... to Macron, leader of the infidels, I executed one of your hellhounds who dared to belittle Muhammad, calm his fellow human beings before a harsh punishment is inflicted on you."[60][65][66][67] The image was seen by many of Paty's students.[8]

Minutes later, Anzorov was confronted by police about 600 metres (660 yd) from the scene in Éragny, near Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, and the police tried to arrest him.[66][63][61] Anzorov shot at the police with an air rifle and tried to stab them with a knife.[68] The police in response shot him nine times, killing him.[60][68] On Anzorov's phone they found a text claiming responsibility, and a photograph of Paty's body.[63][66]

French government response

President Macron visited the school where Paty had worked, and said that the incident was "a typical Islamist terrorist attack".[69][70][71] He also said: "our compatriot was killed for teaching children freedom of speech".[72] French Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer called the killing an "attack on the French nation as a whole".[73] Jean-Rémi Girard, president of the secondary school teaching union, said teachers were "devastated" but would not be cowed.[74] France's anti-terrorist prosecutor said the teacher had been "assassinated for teaching," and the attack was an assault on the principle of freedom of expression.[60]

Sixteen people[75] were later taken into custody for investigation.[76][77][78] They included Anzorov's grandparents, parents, and 17-year-old brother.[78][77][79][80] Also arrested were Sefrioui,[68][81] Brahim Chnina, the father of a girl in Paty's class,[82][83] who is suspected of issuing a fatwa against Paty, and four students[75] who are suspected of taking money from the killer in exchange for identifying the teacher.[84]

French police announced that there were more than 80 messages on social media from French people supporting the attacker.[85] The French Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, ordered that the Grande Mosque de Pantin was to be closed for six months.[86] The mosque, which has about 1,500 worshippers situated just north of Paris, was ordered closed for having published videos inciting violence against Samuel Paty. Its imam, Sefrioui, is under investigation and remains under arrest. The mosque removed the posts after the murder and expressed "regret" over publishing the videos, and published instead an announcement condemning the teacher's killing.[citation needed]

Two days after the murder, a defence council ordered the deportation of 231 foreign citizens which were known to security services in the Fiche S register. Of those, 180 were in prison and the rest were to be arrested.[87] The interior minister Gérald Darmanin demanded dissolution of two Islamic NGOs: CCIF Collective against Islamophobia in France and BarakaCity [fr], which he described as "enemies" of the state. Both the NGOs have been accused[by whom?] of taking part in a social media campaign against the teacher, launched by the father of one of his pupils.[88] According to the prosecutor Jean-François Ricard, speaking on 21 October, there was a "direct causal link" between the hate campaign and Anzorov's murder of Paty.[89]

On 21 October a national memorial for Paty, prepared in consultation with his family,[90] was held at the Sorbonne.[91][92] President Macron awarded the Légion d'honneur posthumously to Paty.[92][93] Texts read at the ceremony included Jean Jaurès's Lettre aux instituteurs et institutrices (lit. 'letter to the teachers').[92][94] In an address of around 15 minutes, Macron described Paty as "a quiet hero" and stated that "we will not give up cartoons".[8][93][94] Macron also announced that the "Sheikh Yassin Collective" founded by Sefrioui to support Hamas would be dissolved, as having been "directly implicated" in the murder.[95] The government was reported to be preparing to dissolve a further fifty organizations connected with radical Islam.[95][8]

On 23 October, the Bibliothèque nationale de France published an introduction to Jaurès's letter, linking to a digitized version of its entire content.[96] La Dépêche, the newspaper in which the letter had originally been published in 1888, republished the text a few days later.[97] Meanwhile, minister Blanquer had selected the letter to be read in schools when pupils would return there after a two-week holiday (Paty had been murdered at the start of that holiday shortly after lessons had finished).[97] The fact that only bowdlerized versions of Jaurès's letter had been distributed to the schools was criticised, for example in an article published in Libération, which prompted the minister to make the entire letter available, just in time for the commemorations for Paty which were held in schools all over France at 11:00 on Monday 2 November.[98][99] That Monday was the first schoolday since the attack and the Prime Minister of France, Jean Castex, attended the commemoration at Paty's school, the Collège Bois-d'Aulne, which itself did not open to its pupils until the following day.[59] During the commemorative ceremony on 2 November across France, more than 400 incidents of threats and interruptions were recorded; several youths were arrested.[100]

Prosecutions

By 22 October seven people had been charged, of which five were in police custody (the two schoolchildren were legal minors).[89] Three of Anzorov's friends were charged with abetting in the crime: two accused of "complicity in a terrorist murder" and another of "terrorist association".[89] One of the pair accused of complicity was alleged to have assisted Anzorov in acquiring a weapon, while the other drove him to the scene of the crime.[89] A 48-year-old parent of a student at Paty's school, named as "Brahim C", was accused of communicating by text message with Anzorov and of organising the campaign of hate against Paty; he had made videos insulting the teacher and demanding his suspension.[89] The imam Abdelhakim Sefrioui, who also appeared in videos castigating Paty, was himself in custody, and Gérald Darmanin told radio station Europe 1 that Brahim C and Sefrioui had issued a fatwa condemning Paty.[89]

By 6 November, ten people were being prosecuted, including another 18-year-old of Chechen origin, a French 18-year-old, and a 17-year-old girl, all charged with "criminal terrorist conspiracy" having been arrested in eastern France, far from either Paris or Evreux.[100]

In Pontoise, an Algerian man was convicted of glorifying terrorism and sentenced to six months in custody for calling the murderer a martyr; he was to be deported at the end of the sentence and banned from France for a decade.[100] Three people between the ages of 15 and 17 were arrested and charged on Friday 6 November with "supporting terrorism", having made threats during the national commemorations of Paty's life that Monday.[100] Further prosecutions were planned in around a dozen of the more serious incidents of over 400 interruptions of the commemoration that took place on the same day according to the education minister Jean-Michel Blanquer.[100]

Other reactions

International organisations

Muslim World League

Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Issa , Secretary General of the Muslim World League , said "acts of violence and terrorism were crimes in all religions," he also suggested that such situations might be avoided by "refrain(ing) from stirring hatred by insulting religion," making an appeal against the unnecessary incitement of violence through the circulation of incendiary literature.[101]

Organisation of Islamic Cooperation

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation said that although they denounced "all acts of terror in the name of religion" it would continue to oppose "continued publication" of what it called "blasphemous cartoons".[9] It added that it was the "suggestions of certain French leaders … that risk submerging French-Muslim relations".[9]

United Nations Alliance of Civilizations

According to a press statement released on 17 October 2020, Miguel Ángel Moratinos , High Representative of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), strongly condemns the decapitation of a French school teacher in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine on the previous day. In the statement, UNAOC's High Representative reiterates being committed to stand against divisive policies and extremist ideologies, and offers condolences to the family of the victim and to the Government and people of France.[102][103]

European Union

Leaders of the 27 member states of the European Union released a joint statement condemning the attack on Samuel Paty and the 2020 Nice stabbing encouraging dialogue and understanding between societies and religions. They called the attacks an assault on their values.[104]

France

Je suis enseignant sign outside the Hôtel de ville de Lille [fr]

The hashtags #Je Suis Prof and #Je Suis Enseignant, both meaning "I am a teacher", were launched in support of the victim and in support of freedom of expression.[105] This was reminiscent of the campaign and hashtag #JeSuisCharlie launched after Charlie Hebdo journalists, and 12 people total, were murdered in an Islamist attack because the magazine had the cartoons depicting Muhammad.[106] Charlie Hebdo issued a statement expressing its "horror and revolt" and gave their support for the family and friends of Paty.[107] Charlie Hebdo caricatures were displayed on regional authority buildings (French: Hôtels de région) in Toulouse and Montpellier.[108] Rallies in protest against the murder, and criticising the government's ineffective response to radical Islam, took place in Place de la République in Paris, and in other cities across France.[109][110] The demonstrators held various placards with statements such as "Je suis Samuel" and "Schools in mourning" written on them.[111] The demonstrators also chanted "Freedom of expression, freedom to teach", or sang "La Marseillaise," the French national anthem.[111] Politicians, academics, and envoys joined the demonstrations across France.[112] In Lyon around 12,000 joined the demonstrations, in Toulouse approximately 5,000 turned out, and hundreds more assembled in Nice.[112]

The French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM), the main interlocutor of the public authorities on Islam, condemned the assassination, and terrorism which claims to be Islam.[113] On 23 October, the CFCM sent the Imams of France a text that they could use as inspiration for their Friday prayers in response to the attack. In it, CFCM noted that "The horrible assassination ... reminds us of the scourges that sadly mark our reality: that of the eruption in our country of radicalism, violence and terrorism claiming to be Islam, claiming victims of all ages, all conditions and all convictions." "No, we Muslims are not persecuted in France," the authors continued. "We are sometimes targets of anti-Muslim acts, but others are also victims of hostile acts. In the face of these provocations, we must remain decent, serene and clear-sighted."[114] On 1 November, the CFCM organized a meeting to discuss the training of religious executives and a plan to fight radicalization.[115][116] Various avenues are studied, in particular "carrying out theological work on the misguided concepts of the Muslim religion" and "carrying out collegial work on the Friday sermon in order to disseminate a strong word from religious executives carried by imams".[117]

Many Muslims and religious leaders in France condemned the act.[118][119] In a tweet, Chems-Eddine Hafiz, rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris, called on the imams of his federation to dedicate their preaching the following Friday to the memory of Samuel Paty and to the fight against Islamist terrorism.[120] According to Europe 1, "almost everywhere in France", imams respond to the rector's call, paying homage to the murdered history teacher.[121] In a press release, the Rhône Mosques Council (French: Conseil des Mosquées du Rhone) condemned "blind hatred" and "murderous madness" and affirms that the religion of which the terrorist "proclaims himself does not recognize itself in him". The signatories of the press release, who come from around thirty mosques, declare that they are committed "to strengthening the study of the ideological foundations of extremist thought and the fight against those who feed it, feed it and finance it". The Saphirnews [fr] site publishes a tribune of 30 imams calling "Muslim youth to go to qualified imams and theologians, in their spiritual quest, so as not to fall into obscurantism".[122]

The attack on Paty polarised French people and politicians alike and led to a public debate on how Islam should be integrated or assimilated into French secular society. One theme of the debate concerned the education of imams which in part come from abroad.[123] The terrorist attack also highlighted the problems France faced with integrating foreigners into the French society in a country which was becoming increasingly racially and ethnically diverse and the political establishment formed a consensus that two or three generations of "newcomers" had struggled to integrate.[124] An opinion poll carried out by Institut français d'opinion publique (Ifop) found that 87% of the respondents considered the secularist society in France (French: Laïcité) was under threat and 79% responded that Islamism had declared war on France and the French Republic. The poll found that 89% of the respondents thought the threat of terrorism was high, of those 38% considered the threat very high. This was a large increase of the previous month but did not reach the 50% level which was frequently passed during the spate of Islamist attacks in France during 2015.[125]

You can boldly call yourself the leader and inspiration of terrorism in your country".[145] Kadyrov, once a rebel in the First Chechen War, had participated with Russia in the military suppression of the Islamist insurgency in the North Caucasus, and had sought to minimize the significance of the killer's place of birth and pointing to his upbringing in France.[145] He wrote on Instagram that showing cartoons of Muhammad was not to be labelled free speech.[145] Macron's office responded by saying "We won’t be intimidated and we put on notice those who sow hatred, which, in Kadyrov's case, is unacceptable".[145]

Saudi Arabia

The Saudi Arabia Foreign Ministry released a statement expressing its solidarity with the French people, while rejecting violence and repeated its position that religious symbols should be respected and that people should refrain from insulting religion.[101] A foreign ministry official stated that the country "rejects any attempt to link Islam and terrorism, and denounces the offensive cartoons of the prophet".[133]

Tunisia

An independent member of the Assembly of the Representatives of the People of Tunisia, Rached Khiari [fr], who was initially elected on a right-wing religious platform al-Karama [fr], justified the attack on Facebook, writing that "to insult the messenger of God" was "the greatest crime," for which one must "bear its consequences."[147] The public prosecution service in Tunisia opened an investigation into his comments, after which Khiari wrote on Facebook that Muhammad was "more important and greater than fame, parliament, politics and the whole world" and that though he could resile from his parliamentary seat and forgo his immunity to prosecution, "I will not renounce my conviction for the crime".[147] The spokesman of the Court of First Instance [fr] in Tunis and deputy public prosecutor said the comments were classifiable as a crime of terrorism, as anti-terrorism legislation punishes the glorification or praise of terrorist attacks with a sentence as long as five years.[147]

Erdoğan–Macron dispute

Emmanuel Macron and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Istanbul in 2018

Following the actions and statements of French President Macron such as describing Islam as a religion "in crisis" worldwide, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan questioned Macron's mental health,[148] and called for a boycott of French goods.[149][150] Erdoğan claimed Muslims in France were "subjected to a lynch campaign similar to that against Jews in Europe before World War II", and that "European leaders should tell the French president to stop his hate campaign".[150] Erdoğan also attacked Macron personally, saying "Macron needs treatment on a mental level" and asked "What's the problem of the individual called Macron with Islam and with the Muslims?" [10] He continued: "What else can be said to a head of state who does not understand freedom of belief and who behaves in this way to millions of people living in his country who are members of a different faith?"[10]

In response to Erdoğan's remarks, France recalled its ambassador to Turkey, and a presidential spokesperson said "President Erdogan's comments are unacceptable. Excess and rudeness are not a method. We demand that Erdogan change the course of his policy because it is dangerous in every respect."[10] In support of Macron, German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said of Erdoğan's behaviour "They are defamatory comments that are completely unacceptable, particularly against the backdrop of the horrific murder of the French teacher Samuel Paty by an Islamist fanatic", while the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Heiko Maas, said Erdoğan's insulting language was "a particular low point".[9][10] The Prime Minister of Italy, Giuseppe Conte, wrote that "personal insults do not help the positive agenda that the EU wants to pursue with Turkey", and the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte, said his country "stands firmly with France and for the collective values of the European Union".[10] The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen was also supportive of Macron's position.[9]

Responding to Erdoğan's insults, Macron wrote on Twitter in English, French, and Arabic, saying: "Our history is one of a battle against tyranny and fanaticisms. We will continue, … we respect all differences in a spirit of peace. We will never accept hate speech and we defend reasonable debate. We will continue. We hold ourselves always on the side of human dignity and universal values".[9]

Charlie Hebdo, responding to Erdoğan's position, published a cartoon mocking the Turkish president on its front page on 27 October. Fahrettin Altun, Erdoğan's press secretary, said on Twitter that "We condemn this most disgusting effort by this publication to spread its cultural racism and hatred".[133]
