A Moroccan student faces trial for beating violently a French professor who criticized the Moroccan political system on Tuesday afternoon.
According to AFP, the 18 year-old student is enrolled in a professional school located in the French city of Bordeaux. The majority of students in that school are of Moroccan origin.
According to Dominique Margueritat, the school director, the misunderstanding was sparked during a debate on political systems in the Middle East and North Africa. After the student asked his professor to discuss the topic more in-depth, the professor refused and threatened to call the student?s parents.
Other sources cited by AFP point out that the professor and his student held different views on certain personalities in the Arab world and the Moroccan political system.
Furious at not being able to speak more on the subject, the student gave a beating to his professor. The school immediately called the police who arrested the student.
?It was just an ordinary lesson ; it has nothing to do with religion,? Dominique Margueritat, the director of the school, was quoted by AFP as saying.
The French Minister, Vincent Peillon, expressed his indignation adding that legal actions will be taken against the student.
The student will face the charge of assaulting a public servant on duty.
