Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the Perpignan courthouse on Monday, chanting slogans and carrying banners to denounce what advocacy groups call a "systemic failure" within the French judicial system following the tragic murder of 11-year-old Lyhanna. The young girl’s body was discovered in a disused grain silo in Fleurance after a week-long search, sparking national outrage when it was revealed that the 41-year-old suspect, Jerome Barella, remained free despite unresolved misconduct allegations dating back to 2017. Activists and victims' families at the rally heavily criticized the European Court of Human Rights-condemned handling of child protection reports and the issuance of suspended sentences, which they argue merely displace offenders and lead to avoidable national tragedies. #justicepourlyhanna #franceprotests #perpignan #breakingnews #systemicfailure #nationaloutrage #frenchjudiciary #childprotection In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topi
