The court in Paris hands out suspended sentences, fines in the landmark online abuse case.
A French court has convicted 11 of the 13 people charged with harassing and threatening a teenager over her anti-Islam online videos. The court on Wednesday sentenced the defendants to suspended prison terms of four to six months, meaning they will not serve time in jail unless they are convicted for other offences, and fined them about $1,770 each. The prosecutions came after the 18-year-old, known as Mila, was forced to change schools and accept police protection due to threats to her life in the wake of her first videos being put online in 2020.More Related News
