In France, prosecutors have initiated a terrorism investigation following the murder of Hichem Miraoui, a Tunisian man allegedly shot by his neighbor. The suspect, a 53-year-old French man, reportedly had a history of posting racist videos online and is believed to have intended to incite terror against individuals of foreign origin. This case, the first of its kind linked to ultra-right terrorist ideology since the anti-terrorism unit was formed in 2019, raises alarms about escalating racist rhetoric and violence in the country.
The murder of Hichem Miraoui by his neighbor, motivated by racist ideology, has prompted a terrorism investigation and sparked alarm over rising racist rhetoric in France.
