PARIS:
A hostage taker in southern France has asked for the release of Paris November 2015 attacker Salah Abdeslam, BFM TV said, citing an anonymous source.
Abdeslam is the prime surviving suspect in the attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.
He refused to to cooperate earlier on the first day of a trial in Belgium.
“I do not wish to answer any questions,” he told the judge, Marie-France Keutgen, when she asked if he would give evidence in a case in which he is accused of attempted murder of police in Brussels three days before his eventual arrest there.
Muslims presumed guilty and judged without mercy, says Paris attack suspect
“I was asked to come. I came,” said Abdeslam.
“What I notice is that Muslims are judged and treated in the worst kind of ways. They are judged without mercy. There is no presumption of innocence, there’s nothing.”
Citing the Muslim declaration of faith that “there is no god but God” and that Mohammad is his prophet, Abdeslam concluded: “Judge me. Do what you want with me. I put my trust in my Lord.”
