Another four students have been charged in France over the death of the French teacher Samuel Paty who was beheaded close to his school last month, according to a judicial source.

Three other pupils were charged earlier this month with complicity over the beheading of Paty, who had shown his students cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, as part of a lesson on free speech.

It is worth mentioning that, following the brutal beheading of a history teacher, France conducted dozens of raidsshuttered a mosque and a few associations they say have connections to radical Islam.

During the meeting of an inter-agency crisis group set up to fight radical Islam in the Paris area, French President Emmanuel Macron said that more measures need to taken to address a national yearning to stamp out extremism.
