La Grand-Combe, France: Hundreds of worshippers prayed on Friday at a packed funeral in rural France for Aboubakar Cisse, a 22-year-old Malian man whose violent murder in a mosque has shaken the country.
The fatal stabbing in the small southern village of La Grand-Combe on Friday last week prompted President Emmanuel Macron to insist there was no place for religious hate in French society.
On Friday, some 700 faithful gathered in the crowded Khadija Mosque and on a nearby lawn for Cisse's funeral. Worshippers prayed in front of the coffin covered by a green cloth.
Cisse was originally from the town of Yaguine in southwestern Mali, where he is due to be buried at a later date.
"This is an absolutely incredible act of hatred in a very peaceful place," Dominique Sopo, a representative of campaign group SOS Racisme, told AFP.
