Lawyers for the BarakaCity association and the Pantin mosque arrive at France's State Council, where petitions against the dissolution of the NGO and the temporary closure of the place of worship are to be considered. The government dissolved BarakaCity at the end of October after the assassination of teacher Samuel Paty, deeming it close to radical Islamism. It also ordered the administrative closure for six months of the Pantin mosque on the grounds that it had relayed a video denouncing Samuel Paty's lecture on freedom of expression, during which the history teacher had shown cartoons of Mohammed.
