Survivors and relatives of the victims of the November 2015 terror attacks responded to Wednesday's guilty verdicts with a mixture of emotions, mostly relief.
Survivors of the November 2015 Paris attacks testify from Tuesday at a historic trial, facing the ordeal of reliving that night of horror in the presence of over a dozen accused in court. One by one over the coming weeks, 300 survivors as well as family members of the victims of the murderous assault on November 13 are to take the stand. Frédérique Giffard, a lawyer representing 21 of these victims, spoke to FRANCE 24.
Key suspect Salah Abdeslam has claimed that he bears no responsibility for the 130 people who were killed in the Paris terror attacks of November 2015. His testimony, during a terse exchange with magistrates, drew anger from survivors and their families, who've also been criticising the decision by defence lawyers to stage a walkout during Tuesday’s hearing. To discuss this and more, we're joined for Perspective by Arthur Dénouveaux, a survivor of the attack on the Bataclan and president of the Life for Paris association.
Salah Abdeslam will be questioned for the next two days over the November 13 terror attacks.View on euronews
Six ans on, and in the middle of the historic trial, French Prime Minister Jean Castex, city officials and representatives of victims associations wrap up the tribute to the victims of the 2015 terror attacks in Paris with a ceremony at the Bataclan concert hall, where 90 people were killed. IMAGES
