Latifa Ibn Ziaten

 

After the death of her son, she went to Izards, a city in the north-east of Toulouse where lived the murderer of his son. She meets a group of young boys who see Mohammed Merah as a hero. After this meeting, she decided to create the Imad-Ibn-Ziaten association for youth and peace in April 2016, with the aim of helping young people in troubled neighborhoods, and promoting secularism and interreligious dialogue.
