The murdered teacher became a monument

As France celebrated the anniversary of the death of Samuel Pati, who was killed for showing cartoons at the Prophet Muhammad

In Paris on October 16, on the anniversary of the tragedy, the name of Samuel Pati, a school teacher of history and geography, they called the square located next to the Kluni Museum, but the main thing is next to the sorbonne.

Because Pati, as President Macron at the Sorbonne said here in the Sorbonne at the national farewell ceremony, personified (and now he will already personify) the protection of the values of the republican education. “Samuel Pati was killed, because the Islamists want to get our future and know that they will not receive this future with such quiet heroes as he,” the president said, promising to protect freedom of speech, “extol to the principles of a secular state” and in no case refuse to draw caricatures on anyone - which immediately caused the angry manifestations of the “defenders of Islam” in different countries of the world.

Today, Macron accepted the Pati family in the Champs Elysees. Before that, the family attended the opening ceremony of a memorial plate in the building of the Ministry of Education. The ceremony was led by Minister Jean-Michel Blanker and head of government Jean Castex.

The prime minister called the teacher a "servant of the republic", who became "a victim of Islamist terrorism and human meanness."

The “meanness” lies in the fact that the schoolgirl, whose complaints began to attack the teachers in social networks, and then led to his murder, was not present in the lesson in which Pati allegedly “insulted Muslims” (he never insulted them). But on the Internet, the video began to walk the most “insulted” schoolgirl (who simply lied in order not to tell her parents that she was removed from training for “inappropriate behavior” for some time), and her “indignant father”, who called the teachers “a scumbag insulting Muslims” and showing the children of a “naked prophet”. Separate radical “ideologists”, and even the large mosque of the Paris suburbs (which the Ministry of Internal Affairs closed for six months) ... As a result, an 18-year-old native of Chechnya, who also kept in touch with some “Russian-speaking jihadists” who had been in Syrian Idlib (the investigation finds out the details), calculated the details), calculated the details). “Evidence” sufficient and went to “take revenge on the Prophet”.

Another type of “meanness” was manifested before this monstrous murder right at the crime scene-near the college of the Conflane-Sent-Onorin college: five schoolchildren 13-15 years old (they are now under the subscription) for money (300 euros) indicated the terrorist how Samuel Pati looks.

In total, 16 people are undergoing in this case (the father of the schoolgirl, Brahim Shnina, has been under preliminary arrest for almost a year on charges of “aiding with a terrorist murder”), but the investigation will continue for many months, and the court is unlikely to take place earlier than 2023.

And this afternoon, in the same college of Bois d'Aulne, in a quiet 35-thousandth Parisian suburb of conflane-Sent-norin, a ceremony was held, on which teachers and students read the texts they wrote, dedicated to freedom of speech and memory of Samuel Pati; They put the recording of the poem of the field of Elyuar Liberté (“Freedom”) made by the students ...

The ceremony was completed by the Minister of Education Blanker. Then, in the center of the city, in the square again Liberté, they opened a monument to freedom of speech.

In the morning, the ceremony (with the opening of a mural dedicated to the same - freedom of speech) was also held in the gymnasium of the neighboring town of Erani, where the teacher lived. On the eve of the wall of freedom of speech, they also opened in the college of Bois d'Aulne.

And lessons dedicated to freedom of speech and secular values (preceded by a minute of silence in memory of Pati) were held in all schools in France - there are 60 thousand of them.

Not without incidents, I must say: we revealed “98 incidents” in the lessons, the Minister Blanker said , emphasizing that 7 “incidents” were related to “threats”. And the Minister of Internal Affairs Darmanen a few days before the anniversary sent all the prefects of the country Circular with a call for “total vigilance” regarding a terrorist threat, which still remains “very high”.

Since 2015, since the attack on Charlie Hebdo, 39 Islamist terrorist attacks have occurred in France.
