A hadith depicts Muhammad specifying the punishment for homosexual activity: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)

On Monday June 27, two people aged 16 and 28 were arrested by the police and taken into police custody for homophobic insults. The attack took place in the early afternoon at around 3.30 pm on a bus of line 10 at the “Carrefour Genève” stop on the Avenue de Genève in Annecy.
According to initial information, confirmed by a woman who had witnessed the scene, the two men violently attacked a man on the bus.
The duo hurled homophobic and transphobic insults at the man before physically threatening and severely abusing him.
The victim, a 26-year-old man from Annecy, filed a complaint. An investigation was opened for public insult based on sexual orientation. The two persons of Afghan origin, who have no known fixed abode but live in the catchment area of Annecy, denied the crime at the hearing.
