The city of Paris said yesterday that it plans to sue US mainstream media network Fox News for reports that there were “no-go zones” in the French capital that police and non-Muslims could not go to.
The reports in the wake of the attacks in Paris two weeks ago have been widely derided and prompted Fox to issue an on-air apology for suggesting parts of Paris were run under (Islamic) Shariah law and UK’s city of Birmingham was a totally Muslim city.
“A complaint will be filed in the coming days,” despite the apology, said a source at Paris city hall.
The news channel had broadcast a map outlining the so-called no-go zones, which an ‘expert’ said ‘felt like Afghanistan or Iraq and where Muslim religious police routinely beat up residents’.
