A French teenager who criticised Islam on Instagram has moved to a new school after receiving death threats.
Education minister Gabriel Attal told broadcaster LCI on Monday that they had found a new school for Mila "to allow her to continue her life".
Mila, 16, sparked a national row over free speech when she called Islam a "religion of hate".
The teen's criticisms prompted fury but also drew support in France, where there are no laws against blasphemy.
Her comments about Islam came after she received homophobic abuse from a Muslim commenter. Supporters started the hashtag #JeSuisMila (I am Mila), while critics responded with #JeNeSuisPasMila.
.... The controversy began on 18 January, after Mila did a live broadcast on her Instagram account. After speaking about her sexuality she was called a "dirty lesbian" by a Muslim commenter.
In response, Mila posted an attack on Islam. "I hate religion. The Koran is a religion of hate," she said, before using stronger words to attack Islam. [BBC] Read more
