Description
Controversial French comedian Dieudonné arrives at a court in Geneva to testify in defence of Swiss Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan, who is accused of "rape and sexual coercion". Ramadan denies the allegations. "I don’t know if my opinion really matters, but my opinion is that he is indeed innocent of what he is accused of today," Dieudonné says, adding that he had "absolutely nothing against the complainant". The comedian had a two-month jail sentence over racist and anti-Semitic remarks upheld by Belgium's top court in 2017. He also received a two-month suspended jail term in France after saying he sympathised with one of the jihadists involved in the January 2015 attack on the Paris offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
