French Teacher Honored a Year After Being Killed For Blasphemy

On October 16th, schools across France paid homage in memory of the first death anniversary of Samuel Paty. Paty was a 47-year old school teacher who was murdered in 2020 because he showed his class cartoon depictions of Muhammad during a lesson about free speech. His murderer, Abdullakh Anzorov, an 18-year old Chechen, was killed during a confrontation with the police. French President Emmanuel Macron, commenting on Paty's murder, said that he was killed because he represented the secular, democratic values of the French Republic. Paty was honored with a commemorative plaque outside the Ministry of Education that reads “Homage to Samuel Paty. Murdered by an Islamic terrorist for teaching and defending the values of the Republic, including freedom of expression.” Several schools have been named after Paty, including a school in the multi-ethnic suburb of Valenton.
