At this stage, around fifteen investigations were opened by the Paris prosecutor's office for acts of defending terrorism

” committed on the Internet, “

death threats

”, “

public insults on account of origin, ethnicity , nation, race or religion

”and“

provocation not followed by effect to crime or misdemeanor

”, explained the Paris prosecutor's office.

"

Most of these investigations have been entrusted to the Brigade for the Suppression of Personal Delinquency (BRDP)

", the same source said.

Since the assassination of Samuel Paty who taught at Conflans Sainte-Honorine, west of Paris, "

more than 80 investigations

" have been opened against "

all those who apologically explained in one way or another that this professor had sought it well

, ”said Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, affirming that arrests had taken place.

Prime Minister Jean Castex said on Tuesday he wanted to "

take up the subject

" of online hatred by creating a "

crime of endangering the publication of personal data

" on the Internet, after the beheading of this professor in the Paris region.

The majority had tried to tackle this issue through a bill from LREM deputy Laetitia Avia, largely rejected by the Constitutional Council.
