Pig Heads Found Outside Multiple Paris Mosques Amid Investigation

Pig heads were discovered outside multiple mosques in Paris and its suburbs, an act condemned by authorities as a deeply insulting provocation to the Muslim community, for whom pigs are considered impure. Paris police chief Laurent Nunez announced an immediate investigation to find those responsible, describing the acts as despicable and abhorrent. Some of the pig heads were found in public places, including a mosque in northern Paris where one was placed inside a suitcase, and one site had the name 'Macron' scrawled, suggesting a political dimension amid President Macron's ongoing political challenges. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau expressed strong support for the Muslim community, emphasizing the importance of religious freedom and the right to practice faith in peace. The Paris police are investigating the incident for suspected incitement to hatred and aggravated discrimination. This event has drawn significant political and social attention in France, which hosts the largest Muslim population in Europe.
