The French justice system issued an international arrest warrant on Friday against Tariq Ramadan , absent from his trial for health reasons. His lawyers left the hearing, denouncing a "parody of justice" after the rejection of their request for a postponement.

Swiss Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan has filed a complaint against one of his accusers. This is the one the media have nicknamed "Christelle".
The Swiss Islamic scholar is still not done with the justice system. Tariq Ramadan found himself again face to face with the woman who accuses him of raping her in Switzerland in 2008.
After "Christelle", the Swiss Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan was confronted on Wednesday at the Paris court with his Swiss accuser nicknamed "Brigitte" in the media. The latter accuses the man of having raped and sequestered her in a hotel in Geneva on October 28, 2008.

Tariq Ramadan will no longer give his conference on December 28 on "personal and collective trials" at the Aïcha mosque in Montpellier. This is the decision of the Aïcha association, in charge of managing the mosque, under pressure from local elected officials.
