Emblematic MeToo trial of Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan awaits verdict

Tariq Ramadan, a well known Swiss-Egyptian Islamic scholar, has been tried in absentia for the rape of three ladies in Paris, with the decision to fall on March 25. The trial is likely one of the most emblematic of the MeToo motion in France. He has already been convicted in Switzerland, the place he’s presently hospitalised for a number of sclerosis – which his medical crew judged made him unable to attend his trial in France. FRANCE 24’s Angela Diffley appears to be like on the particulars of the trial, and who the accused is.
