Shafaqna English– Anti-racism activists, public figures, and collective leaders have called for silent marches against the rise in Islamophobic attacks across France on Sunday 11 May 2025. The demonstration will begin at 2 pm local time in the Paris neighborhood of Bastille.
The march comes following the heinous Islamophobic attack a perpetrator identified as Olivier A. carried out against a Muslim man inside the Mosque.
Olivier A. repeatedly stabbed 22-year-old Aboubakar Cisse around 40 to 50 times while he was praying, all while hurling insults at God, Islam, and Muslims as he filmed his horrific crime.
Converging reports say that the march organizers are determined to continue to rally against racism and Islamophobia.
“The person who kills is responsible, but someone who commits a racist crime always does so in a climate that enables it,” the organizers said in their statement on the upcoming demonstration.
