This is Sarah Halimi. She was a retired doctor and teacher and lived happily in Paris.

One day, Kobili Traore, a 31 year old Muslim man of Malian descent forced his way into her apartment while she was sleeping. He beat her for a long time, whilst shouting anti-Semitic statements and reciting verses from the Koran. The neighbours called the police but, despite having a key, they would not enter the apartment. Eventually Traore threw her out of the window, killing her. What sentence do you think he got? Well, he was not even tried. The court decided that he could not be blamed because, despite being a heavy drug user and drug seller, his cannabis consumption that day had given him a “psychotic episode”. This was confirmed by the highest court in France in 2021. Instead, Traore was sent to a psychiatric hospital, where he has continued to take drugs. Now he has been let out on day release, even returning to his building, which happens to be the same place he killed Sarah. It is expected that he will be out amongst us again soon since psychiatrists have confirmed that he “does not have any long standing mental illness”. A farce. A dangerous farce. – Miss Jo
