Hawzah News Agency- The tribute was announced earlier by National Assembly President Yael Braun-Pivet, who described the killing as a "cowardly assassination" that "shocked the nation''.
Braun-Pivet said the decision to hold the tribute was made following consultations with several parliamentary group leaders, despite the absence of an initial consensus.
A minute of silence was held in honor of Abubakar Sissi, despite initial objections from the parliament speaker and Le Pen. We did not give up. It is our honor that the national representation does not trivialize such a grave Islamophobic crime, Panot wrote on X.
The suspected attacker, identified as Olivier H., a French citizen of Bosnian origin born in 2004, surrendered to authorities late Sunday at a police station in Italy after spending days on the run, according to Franceinfo.
He was taken into custody, and extradition proceedings are underway to return him to France.
Authorities said the 24-year-old victim, a Malian national, was stabbed between 40 and 50 times while praying inside the mosque early Friday.
