Four years ago, the assassination of French history teacher Samuel Paty sent shock waves across France and abroad.
Late on the Friday afternoon of October 16, 2020, an 18-year-old Chechen stabbed and beheaded 47-year-old Paty in front of his school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, a northwestern suburb of Paris. The 18-year-old was killed by police shortly after the attack.
