Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin vowed there would be"not a minute's respite for enemies of the Republic", after tens of thousands took part in rallies countrywide on Sunday to honour teacher Samuel Paty and defend freedom of expression.Fifteen people have been detained so far, including four pupils who may have helped the killer - an 18-year-old of Chechen origin who was killed by police - to identify the teacher in return for payment.
Paty had shown his civics class one of the controversial cartoons after first giving Muslim children the option to leave the classroom.In Paris, government ministers joined the city's mayor for the demonstration. Darmanin also ordered the closure of a mosque in the Parisian suburb of Pantin, accusing its imam of encouraging intimidation of the teacher and publicising the address of the school.
"There's a huge amount of self-censorship," said Jean-Pierre Obin, a former inspector for the French education system."We must fear that there will now be more." "It is very important to come here to show our sorrow, to show that what happened here is not Islam. It was done by thugs who have nothing to do with Islam," said Kemadou Gassama, an imam in Paris.
