"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."
"This incident marks a significant moment in France's legal approach to racially motivated violence, as it is the first time a racist murder is being investigated for ties to ultra-right terrorism."
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.
