A 27-year-old man is facing legal proceedings in Paris for threatening the principal of Maurice-Ravel High School.

The incident, which occurred in March, followed an altercation where the principal asked a student to remove her veil, leading to accusations of violence.

The accused, who posted a death threat on social media, expressed regret and apologized during his court appearance.

The prosecution has requested a one-year suspended sentence, with the final verdict expected on November 18. This case has highlighted the ongoing tensions surrounding religious symbols in French schools and the impact of online threats on public figures.
