TUNIS: Tunisian authorities said Monday police are investigating an MP who in a Facebook post appeared to defend the beheading of a French teacher who had shown his pupils satirical cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.
Teacher Samuel Paty, who used the cartoons during a lesson on freedom of expression, was murdered in the street outside his school on Friday afternoon, sparking outrage and countrywide rallies supporting freedom of expression in France. Tunisian MP Rached Khiari, an independent aligned with the Islamist movement Karama which is part of the North African country’s governing coalition, wrote on Facebook the next day:
“Insulting the prophet of God is the greatest of crimes and anyone who commits it, whether a state, a group or an individual, must accept the consequences.”Mohsen Dali, a Tunis prosecutor, told AFP that a court had charged “a team specialised in terrorism with looking into the content of the post”, although a full judicial enquiry has not yet been opened.
Plenty of those right here, if you check socmed comments.
