Nine pig heads were discovered outside multiple mosques in the Paris area on Tuesday, prompting French police to open an inquiry, the city’s police chief said, adding that further discoveries could be made.
Laurent Nunez posted, “Every effort is being made to find the perpetrators of these despicable acts,” on X.
According to local authorities, the heads were found on public roadways in Paris and three neighboring districts.
“Outrageous” and “absolutely unacceptable” are the words used by Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau to describe the actions.
“I want our Muslim compatriots to be able to practice their faith in peace,” he stated.
