brutally beaten by a group of teenagers. Now it is known: The crime was

“infidel” and “whore” at her school.
Montpellier –
A 14-year-old girl was attacked by a group of teenagers in Montpellier,
southern France, on Tuesday and beaten into a coma. According to the
victim’s mother, her daughter had previously been bullied at school
because of her western clothing. “They called her a kafir (infidel) and a
whore,” the woman told CNews television. The victim’s family itself has
a migrant background.
The attack is said to have been announced
on social networks. “She was attacked because since last year there has
been a student who has been agitating against my daughter and trying to
invent things about her that she doesn’t do,” the regional newspaper Midi Libre
quoted the mother as saying. In the days before the attack, a hashtag
was said to have been started on the Internet under which people agreed
to attack the girl.
On the day of the attack, a group of
teenagers apparently gathered in front of Collège Arthur Rimbaud, the
school the victim attended. “The class teacher called me yesterday to
pick up my daughter after school and warned me that a crowd of young
people had formed at the exit. I asked the school to keep her on the
school grounds until I arrived. But they didn’t,” the mother reported.
After
the 14-year-old girl ventured outside, she was attacked by the group.
Although the student managed to escape, she eventually collapsed in
front of a post office. There she was cared for by firefighters.
According to her mother, the girl suffered several epileptic seizures.
On
Wednesday, the mother and other family members formed a human chain in
front of the school premises. The school’s principal, Sophie Béjean,
spoke to the victim’s relatives and, together with Emmanuel Macron’s
chief of staff Francois-Xavier Lauch, held a press conference condemning
the violence.
The public prosecutor’s office announced that
several suspects had been arrested, including a 14-year-old classmate of
the victim. “The investigation is continuing to identify the other
accused, to determine the motive and the exact course of events,” the
public prosecutor’s office announced.
