(AFP) Paris: Members of a French group that said it was formed to combat Islamophobia went on trial in Paris on Monday accused of plotting terrorist attacks.
Led by 37-year-old “emir” Mohamed Achamlane, the 15 members of Forsane Alizza, who called themselves the “knights of pride”, have denied involvement in a terrorist organisation.
Achamlane told the court he had no “terrorist inspiration” and only wanted to defend Muslims against mounting Islamophobia in France.
