The Paris Special Assize Court handed down prison terms ranging from one to 16 years to the defendants, who were convicted of organizing a hate campaign that culminated in the beheading of 47-year-old Samuel Paty.
Naim Boudaoud, 22, and Azim Epsirkhanov, 23, were convicted of complicity in murder and sentenced to 16 years in prison each, highlighting the severe legal repercussions for those who facilitated the brutal attack.
According to prosecutor Nicholas Braconnay, although no one directly wished for Paty's death, the online hate campaign 'lit thousands of fuses,' leading to eventual violence against him.
