Six French teenagers have been convicted for their involvement in the 2020 beheading of a teacher, Samuel Paty, by an Islamist extremist. The court found the teenagers guilty of charges related to a pre-meditated criminal conspiracy, preparing an ambush, and making false accusation and slanderous comments. The heaviest sentence of 6 months in prison was given to one adolescent, while the other defendants received brief or suspended prison terms and were required to stay in school or jobs during their suspended terms.
