France: Parents arrested for violently preventing their children from Westernizing
It started off as a simple runaway case. Monday, around 1pm in Meximieux, two sisters aged 15 and 18, of Turkish origin, were reported missing.
The Meximieux police found their two hours later, but their investigation did not end there. They discovered that the two sisters were regularly subjected to violence by their parents, who did not accept their wish not to live according to their very rigorous life principles. Fundamentalist Muslims, the parents do not tolerate seeing them in Western clothing, visiting friends, or pursuing their studies. They were also forbidden to watch French television.
The parents initially denied even the simple practice of religion, but later admitted to the facts and violence.
They will be tried by the court for violence by a person of authority towards a minor.
