Tariq Ramadan argue du ramadan pour faire récuser la présidente de son procès pour viols

Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan, who is due to stand trial in March for rape, filed a motion on Monday to recuse the president of the Paris departmental criminal court, accusing her in particular of not wanting to move the trial dates, which are to be held partly during Ramadan.

In its recusal request, which AFP has seen, the defense of the Swiss preacher asks the first president of the Paris Court of Appeal to order the recusal of the magistrate who will preside over the departmental criminal court for this trial, scheduled from March 2 to 20, considering that she did not present "the guarantees of impartiality required by the fairness of the hearing".

Tariq Ramadan, 63, is due to appear in court for rapes allegedly committed between 2009 and 2016 against three women. He denies the accusations.

In September 2024, the Islamic scholar was already sentenced in Switzerland to three years in prison, one year of which was suspended, for the rape of another woman.

"It is particularly difficult to imagine that a man who will have to answer to charges before the departmental criminal court for almost a month should be questioned during the period of Ramadan, during which he will not be in full possession of all his faculties, especially since he is affected by illness," commented his lawyers, Ouadie Elhamamouchi, Nabila Asmane, Sarah May Vogelhut and Marie Burguburu.

Ramadan is expected to begin around February 17th and end around March 18th.

They also accuse the magistrate of remaining deaf to their requests to reopen the investigations in light of several expert reports they have submitted which, according to them, prove her innocence.
