Renowned Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan, accused of rape

The 55-year-old was questioned by police in Paris this week, and is now being held in custody.

He denies accusations and has indicted his slander accuser, reports “BBC”, report Periscope.

Ramadan legalises at Oxford University, but after the claims appeared in October, he received permission to suspend his work.
