France Probes Muslim Organizations Following Beheading of Teacher

VOA News

   France's Interior Ministry has launched an investigation into a wide
   range of hate speech following the beheading of a history teacher last
   week.

   Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said that 80 instances of hate speech
   online had been investigated since Friday's attack and that 51 French
   Muslim organizations would be probed, as well.

   "Not a minute of respite for enemies of the republic," Darmanin wrote
   Monday on Twitter.

     Pas une minute de répit pour les ennemis de la République.
     ð+ de 80 enquêtes ouvertes pour haine en ligne suite à  l'attentat
     de vendredi.
     ð 51 structures associatives verront toute la semaine des visites
     des services de l'Etat et plusieurs d'entres elles seront dissoutes.

   The comments follow a weekend of countrywide rallies defending free
   speech and secularism in France after middle school teacher Samuel Paty
   was beheaded Friday near his school in the Paris suburb of
   Conflans-Sainte-Honorine.
