Hat tip Gates of Vienna



This is an update on the beating death we reported yesterday in Lyon, France, in which a young man protesting the speaking appearance of Rima Hassan was attacked and beaten to death by about 6 people. Now, Le Figaro is reporting that police have identified 6 persons, all of whom are reportedly members of the leftist organization, La Jeune Garde as having participated in the murder. Four of the suspects are in custody, including Jacques-Elie Favrot, who is reportedly an assistant to French Parliament Deputy Raphael Arnault of the left-wing La France Insoumise Party, of which Hassan is also a member. Arnault is the co-founder of Jeune Garde. All in all, a shocking development. 

We are translating the headline and sub-topic information of the below article from Le Figaro, which is a timeline of events.
