Mila, the 16-year-old high school student from Isère whose virulent criticism of Islam has earned her a surge of threats that prevent her from going to school today, assured TMC on Monday not to "regret" her words, claiming her "right to blasphemy".
"It was really my thought"
"I have absolutely no regrets about what I said, it was really my thought," said the girl on the set of the program Quotidien . "I apologize a little bit for the people I could hurt, who practice their religion in peace, and I never wanted to target human beings, I wanted to blaspheme, I wanted to talk about a religion, say what I thought, "she said, however. Since the publication on January 18 of her controversial video, which went viral on social networks, the schoolgirl had to be out of school and explains that today her life is "clearly on hold".
"National Education is doing its best to help me, find me a place where I will be safe, but it is not easy," she explained. "She is in a very special situation which we condemn, so we help her with a certain discretion because the objective is to return her to school peacefully so that she can have a normal life", had indicated a little earlier to the press the Minister of National Education Jean-Michel Blanquer.

An open investigation
Mila said she regretted having said her words "on social networks", not measuring "the extent that it may have taken", as well as "the vulgarity" of the terms used. It also alerted Internet users to "false accounts" and "false kitty", stating that no kitty had been opened for its benefit. The Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, which had opened an investigation for "provoking hatred against a group of people because of their membership of a particular race or religion", dismissed it.
Investigators, on the other hand, are continuing their investigations to find the perpetrators of the death threats expressed against the girl who filed the complaint. According to the schoolgirl, "the police take it very seriously".
