Islamic Scholar Tariq Ramadan convicted of rape on appeal in Switzerland

A Swiss appeals court convicted Islamic Scholar TARIQ RAMADAN of rape and sexual coercion, sentencing him to three years in prison, two suspended, on September 10, 2024.
The court overturned a prior acquittal regarding an incident in a Geneva hotel in 2008 involving a woman who reported feeling empowered to speak out.
RAMADAN's verdict was less severe than the prosecutor's requested three years with half suspended; he maintains his innocence and can appeal the ruling.
