“It’s interesting for me, I have some questions to ask him”, said Georges Salines, father of Lola, who was killed at the Bataclan

According to his lawyer, Salah Abdeslam, who was sentenced to life in prison for the November 13 attack, “expressed” a request for contact with civil authorities, in a restorative justice process.

Georges Salines, father of Lola, a young woman killed at the Bataclan, and himself the author of two works on November 13, stated on Tuesday November 11 on franceinfo that she was not murdered. “surprised” Salah Abdeslam’s approach to requesting contact with civil authorities is in progress “restorative justice”. “I am very interested in meeting Salah Abdeslam because I have several questions to ask him”added George Salines, who co-wrote the book with the father of one of the November 13 terrorists.

The last survivor of the November 13 commando squad to be sentenced to life in prison without reduction was “someone potentially wants to explain a little bit of the situation and, perhaps, have a discussion, opening the door for civil parties, if they wish, to be able to discuss detention and discuss this trial”argued his lawyer Olivia Ronen Tuesday morning on franceinfo.

“I am not surprised because Salah Abdeslam first agreed to meet me when he was detained in Belgium”explained Georges Salines. This “direct dialogue” between civil parties and defendants was an idea dear to Lola’s father, who had pitched the idea before a special Paris court. The meeting between him and Salah Abdeslam could not take place at that time because the terrorists were training “at that time applied to the Belgian justice system to avoid his return to France”.

For George Salines, today’s meeting will allow to “clarify what exactly happened on his trip and in particular, on his trip on November 13, 2015, because it is still unclear”, said Lola’s father. “What does he think today about the attack? Does he think the attack was justified?”he asked himself. “I cannot condone what was done, but I did not pursue these people out of hatred or personal revenge.”he assured.
