Selon le procureur de la République de Montbéliard, tout cela doit «faire réfléchir l’ensemble des collégiens, aussi jeunes soient-ils».
Une professeur de Montbéliard a été menacé de mort par son élève après avoir montré des caricatures de Charlie Hebdo.

Overview

  • The incident occurred after a January 8th civics class where the teacher showed religious and political caricatures from Charlie Hebdo as part of a lesson on freedom of expression.
  • A week later, the student allegedly told the teacher that a high schooler would kill him for showing the caricatures, prompting the teacher to file a police complaint.
  • The student, who claimed the statement was a 'joke,' has been placed in temporary school suspension and faces a disciplinary hearing.
  • Legal proceedings are underway, with the student being charged with making death threats against a public official and scheduled to appear in court for a probationary warning.
  • The teacher has been granted institutional protection, including legal support and psychological assistance, as authorities emphasize the seriousness of such threats in the context of past attacks on educators.
