Summary
Zaheer Mahmood, 29, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for attempting to murder two people with a meat cleaver outside Charlie Hebdo’s former Paris office in 2020.
Influenced by radical Pakistani preacher Khadim Hussain Rizvi, Mahmood attacked two Premieres Lignes employees, mistaking the office for Charlie Hebdo’s, which had relocated after the 2015 al-Qaeda attack.
Five accomplices were jailed for supporting Mahmood. The victims, who suffered severe injuries, rejected Mahmood’s apology.
Mahmood, an illegal immigrant to France since 2017, was also convicted of terrorist conspiracy.
It took over 4 years to get a conviction? And I thought the courts here in the US were slow
Putting the burden of proof on the prosecution is part of having a fair justice system, so if you ever want to see convictions on shit like this they need time to gather evidence and build a case
The Hoover Dam was built in less time.
The Hoover dam didn’t have to follow rules intended to protect the civil rights of the accused
Right? My first thought was that there must’ve been another one.
That does not feel long enough for this crime.
That’s the maximum in France.
which is, incidentally, 1.5 times as long as the maximum in switzerland.
Although terrorists like him will never be able to be released and will be instead held in “protective arrest”
My mmmerica’s throbbing with rage right now
If it makes any of you feel any better, Rizvi also famously berrated and mocked Abdul Sattar Edhi for wasting his time making a volunteer ambulance service before he himself was transported in an Edhi ambulance where he died before reaching the hospital.

Capital punishment. Call it an “honor killing” if the thought makes you queasy.
