Grandson of Muslim Brotherhood founder faces more rape accusations
Tariq Ramadan has been charged with raping two women
in 2015 and 2016 besides two others he was already facing accusations over, his
lawyer told Agence France Presse this week.
Ramadan, who is the grandson of Muslim Brotherhood
founder, denied the charges. He was a professor at Oxford University until he
was compelled to resign over the charges.
The 57-year-old Ramadan appeared before
investigating magistrates in Paris, as charges were added relating to two other
women who were identified by investigators from photos found on his computer.
“There is a desire to pursue Tariq Ramadan at all
costs and against the evidence,” his lawyer Emmanuel Marsigny told AFP.
“This case is becoming grotesque.”
Ramadan’s case became public end of Oct. 2017 when
feminist activist Henda Ayari and ‘Christelle’ filed a lawsuit against him
accusing him of rape in 2009 and 2012.
