Imam Hassen Chalghoumi Files Complaint Accusing MEP Rima Hassan of a ‘Fatwa’

The Paris prosecutor must rule on the complaint’s admissibility before any judge-led investigation can proceed.

L'équipe de Rima Hassan assure qu’il ne s’agissait pas d’un appel au meurtre, mais d’une dénonciation de « l’hypocrisie » de Hassen Chalghoumi.
L'eurodéputée insoumise Rima Hassan accusée d’avoir lancé une «fatwa» contre l’imam de Drancy

Overview

  • Hassen Chalghoumi filed the complaint in Paris with constitution de partie civile, seeking the appointment of an investigating judge.
  • The filing cites a 17 August post on X in which Rima Hassan listed several public figures, with checkmark emojis next to two names and an hourglass next to Chalghoumi, which the imam’s camp interprets as a threat.
  • The complaint alleges provocation to commit violence and association de malfaiteurs in view of a premeditated homicide by an organized group.
  • Rima Hassan’s team rejects the accusation, saying the post highlighted what they call Chalghoumi’s hypocrisy and amounted to contextualization rather than a threat, and they denounce what they describe as instrumentalization by pro-Israel supporters.
  • Chalghoumi is a prominent Drancy imam known for anti-extremism stances and frequent online threats, and Hassan has faced multiple complaints since 2023, with the imam’s lawyer asserting she has so far avoided prosecution.
