A 13-year-old Muslim student in France has admitted that she fabricated the story that lead to a school teacher being beheaded last year.
The student claimed that her teacher Samuel Paty had showed an image of Muhammed during a lesson on free speech, which he had asked the Muslim students to leave the room for.
Once her tall tale made it online, an outrage mob ensued and the teacher began to receive death threats.
“She lied because she felt trapped in a spiral because her classmates had asked her to be a spokesperson,” her lawyer Mbeko Tabula said, according to a report from the Daily Mail.
