About

Tariq Ramadan is a Swiss Islamic scholar and former Oxford University professor who has been accused of raping three women. He was recently convicted by a Paris court and sentenced to 18 years in prison for the crimes. The case marks a significant development in the #MeToo movement, with Ramadan being one of the most high-profile figures to be held accountable for his actions. The conviction is also notable due to the secretive nature of the trial, which was closed to the public. Ramadan's case has sparked controversy and debate about the intersection of Islam and sexual assault, as well as the handling of sensitive cases in France. Despite being convicted, Ramadan maintains his innocence and has requested a new trial.
