SHOTLIST: PARIS, FRANCE (APRIL 27, 2025) (ANADOLU – ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF PROTESTERS GATHERING AT REPUBLIC SQUARE IN PARIS / SOME PROTESTERS HOLDING BANNERS / OTHERS GIVING SPEECHES / SOME PROTESTERS CARRYING PALESTINIAN SCARVES 'KEFFIYEHS' PARIS, FRANCE - APRIL 27, 2025: Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at Republic Square in Paris on Sunday, April 27, to denounce Islamophobia and honor the memory of Aboubakar, a Muslim man killed in a mosque attack in the Gard region of France. The protest followed a call by France's Unbowed Member of Parliament Antoine Leaument, who announced the solidarity march on social media. He urged people to join the gathering at 6 p.m. local time, emphasizing that no one should face threats or violence because of their religion. Aboubakar, 24, was stabbed to death on April 25 at Hatice Mosque in the town of La Grand-Combe, according to local media. The attacker repeatedly stabbed the worshipper, filmed the assault on a phone, and shouted insults against Islam during the attack. Investigators are examining a possible Islamophobic motive, according to local media reports. Ales public prosecutor Abdelkrim Grini said the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office (Pnat) is monitoring the case, although it has not yet formally taken it over. Grini noted that the victim was a regular at the mosque in Trescol, a hamlet within La Grand-Combe, while the suspected attacker had never been seen there before. Surveillance cameras inside and around the mosque captured images of the suspect, who appears to be unknown to both local residents and mosque-goers.
