France: Parents arrested for violently preventing their children from Westernizing
It started off as a simple runaway case. Monday, around 1pm in Meximieux, two sisters aged 15 and 18, of Turkish origin, were reported missing.
The Meximieux police found their two hours later, but their investigation did not end there.
The parents initially denied even the simple practice of religion, but later admitted to the facts and violence.
They will be tried by the court for violence by a person of authority towards a minor.
