Missak Manouchian, of Armenian origin and who did not have French nationality, was shot in April 1944. Despite Emmanuel Macron's encouragement, the RN is present at the ceremony.
He is the second personality without French nationality to enter the Pantheon, after the singer and dancer Joséphine Baker in 2021. The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. and will be followed by a live broadcast on CNN.com and the CNN iReport app. For more information, visit the Pantheon Ceremony website.
