Mother of Murdered Ilan Halimi Wants Public Trial Against 'Barbarians'

Never forget: Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old mobile phone salesman, went missing in Paris in January 2006. After being lured by a young woman from the mobile phone shop where he worked, he was held captive for more than three weeks in a Paris suburb. Authorities found him naked, handcuffed and covered with burn marks from cigarettes near railroad tracks south of Paris on February 13, 2006. He died on the way to the hospital, having bled to death from stab wounds to his neck. Halimi’s abductors had tortured him while demanding a 450,000 euros ransom from his family and the Jewish community.
