Jean Messiha targeted by a complaint for "racist cyberharassment" after a post about young girls in burkinis

Jean Messiha, a far-right polemicist, faces a lawsuit for "racist cyberharassment" after labeling young girls in burkinis as "Islamic supremacists." The complaint, supported by several associations, claims his comments incited public hatred and discrimination. Messiha's post, shared on social media, included a photo of minors at a sailing camp, which he criticized for their attire. The associations argue that his remarks unjustly associate the girls' swimwear with extremism. Messiha's lawyer contends that his statements fall under protected speech regarding political Islam, referencing European human rights law.
