PARIS, February 12 – Bullying Without Borders World Organization
The savage lynching of Quentin Deranque—a university student just 23 years old, killed by a wild mob in Lyon, France—continues to deeply shock the nation.
French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez has confirmed to the Bullying Without Borders World Organization that the judicial investigation into the young man's aggravated homicide is actively underway and that several individuals from the political group "Jeune Garde" are under judicial scrutiny.
On Sunday night, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez told human rights consultant Javier Miglino Helfenstein that "it was clearly the far-left that was behind" the violent attack on Quentin in Lyon on Thursday; his death was announced on Saturday. He also pointed to the possible involvement of the anti-fascist group "La Jeune Garde" (The Young Guard).
"The investigation will confirm whether or not they were members of La Jeune Garde. But witness statements clearly point in that direction," the Interior Minister told JMH. The Lyon public prosecutor is set to hold a press conference on Monday at 3:00 PM regarding the investigation, following the police's collection of "several relevant witness statements." The Interior Minister stated he had no doubt that the perpetrators of the attack on the young man from Lyon—which he described as a "lynching"—would soon be identified.
"I have no doubt about it, and we shall see if we confirm or refute the theory that it was the far-left. But clearly, it was the far-left that was behind it," he asserted.
The prosecutor's office has indicated that it has opened an investigation into aggravated homicide and aggravated assault following the death of 23-year-old student Quentin Deranque, who was beaten on the sidelines of a lecture by MEP Rima Hassan in Lyon.
