critical bodies on the line to india's biggest on earth but the industry stunt performers are unknown and under 101 ace mates than men and women risking it all for the bright lights of bali on al-jazeera. rule. the ability. he's considered by many is the most prominent islamic studies scholar in the western world but at the height of the mutual movements in 2017 professor thought of was forced to leave his post at oxford university over allegations of sexual assault ramadan categorically denied the accusations but as the cases against him increased he voluntarily flew to france to meet with the investigators the best selling author was eventually detained in february of 2018 a paris court of appeals released on the ban on bail 10 months later he still rejects the allegations but the investigations into the cases continue is justice

in france being served or has this case been politicized professor thought of talks to al-jazeera. press apart a crumb of dan thank you very much for talking to of to 0 thank you for inviting until late 2017 you are here blue the most prominent islamic scholar in europe maybe even the what's the role that since then however you've been accused by several women of rape you've been detained you've been put in solitary confinement . all the while you for framed from speaking to the media why have you chosen to talk now look the situation was better than for 2 years i was on drugs or the media coverage was very bad and it was almost a media lynching in the special in france and then now after 2 years while all the

facts and what we have investigations are quite clear that the my case it's empty and my lawyer is quite clear about this i decided to write a book about the whole story for the people to know what happened exactly and then also because we had a loss complain that was filed recently and i think that it's time for me to speak what's different i mean we'll go through chronologically what happened but what's different about this last complaint from the other it's a woman who is also accusing your yes but that's exactly the point they have been repeating your lawyer and 2 people who didn't listen to me that there is nothing that i haven't done anything and then with this last case we have exactly what should be known by to people because we had the woman who claimed that i raped her in may 23rd 2014 in leone you know what why you look at facts and you know the media coverage was so bad in france more than 120 odd. press new journalists doing his or

her job just looking at the facts what are the facts as far as your thoughts are that that's the point the point you come in you read that on the basis of one narrative a woman went to the police said i was raped not only by terry crumb of them but also by another man who was from his staff and this was on the 23rd of may 2000 and 1423rd of may 2014 i was in bad 2 more giving a lecture in front of 10000 people and this is on you tube more than that i never. went to these hot oh i don't want to soften. enrile i never when that so she claims that you raped her in the south of france was you say you have evidence that you are in fact in the united states exactly exactly and then more than that which is very important is it came at a moment where if you look at the last investigations coming from the criminal

squad everything is collapsing in the house so that they used this as a small screen not to speak about the evidence is now showing that they are innocent of all the crimes. ok this is let's take them apart one by one was late 2017 october i believe off the back of the internationally kind of acclaimed hashtag me to a campaign where women were encouraged to come out and tell stories of how they were either sexually abused or attacked by people you had this self-proclaimed former salafist turned reformist hindu iare who came out and claimed that you had raped her several years ago in fact in 2012 in fact and described it as a violent rape. to the point that she says she became traumatized so much so that you couldn't even hear your name for several months if not more so we have to come to the facts here and this was not even heard by the media not even heard after

what you know i kept silent to begin saying i'm not going to talk to journalists i'm going to talk to judges the problem that i had is that the judges what not even listening to me and not even looking at all the evidence is that are just proving that i was insane so as to this woman she lied she didn't know the place she didn't know the time she came with rather what you mentioned in other posts or tenchi she change for time her story 4 times and then she said she gave the 1st date that this was a 2nd date it was not this one she gave. it was not this one he cheats change again and i had charges in front of me why don't you say you don't know what you are raped you don't know the date you don't know the place and more than that her son her own cook coming to testify saying she's lying she was not there she was at the marriage in this time more than this what we know now the last investigator injuries at our wedding

a wedding yes so what we had in the recent investigations coming in last august is that she said i was a salad very naive as to sexual sexuality as far as sex or at it is concerned you come to this in 2002 until recently she had on skype more than 50 relationships exchanges with men during all this period but that doesn't necessarily mean that's point well yes but what i am saying is that she started by lying about this add to this the fact that she didn't know the place she didn't know the date as i said and more than this into the. 10093 years before she was in touch with me she was trying to contact carolyn for rest the notorious you know enemy i have in france she's known as being against eric raymond so why caroline and what

is caroline marcus she's she's a join the list but she wrote the book against me so 2 years before that she was in touch with her 3 years before and then she was harassing me if you don't respond to my messages i'm going to work with you enemies so once again she's talking about enemy is this evidence have you submitted this to the well no not her that no no that's the opposite what i'm telling you now is that what is coming out of the brigade the criminal squad reports so the prosecution themselves have been investigating these women exactly and this is what they've been able to exactly but the problem that they have is that the police and the criminal squad are saying this and the judges don't take this into account they don't even listen so so she is lying she's changing her story and then more than that she's in touch with my

enemies 3 years before she came with this story there was another case that was brought on a month later by the time the courts and the media could only refer to her as crystal but later has been revealed her identity as poor alene and she says where she had accused you of raping her was thing at a hotel in 2009 she said that you left the room that you went to give a lecture and another place and you came back and continue to rape her and that she was only able to escape once you went to the bathroom at 5 am she claims that she spoke to the reception to a bus driver and other people as well so let me come to this because once again i'm not going to speak about my opinion i'm going to tell you. what we find in the investigation is coming from the criminal squad this next stop me the criminal squad just for our viewers who want maybe a compass or a gator this is the investigators exactly exactly so they are asked by the judges

to do the work on the field and that's to come with the facts so what they're saying is 1st. what she said about the time with for example she said at 4 o'clock i went to a bus they didn't find anyone all the drivers did not recognize her she said i went to the police she did she doesn't remember the address of the police of her own town 3rd she said i have a medical certificate showing that and a medical certificate is not talking at all about this talking about him arre it's so this is the starting point then she changed her story 3 times i had to do that she said i was. held prisoner in the room while you were giving a lecture yes but the point is is that we have a picture of her in the audience we asked. for her exit row the organs of what's the address of the lecture she said she was sick is treated in the room and at the

same time she's in the audience. and there's the images but there is one and we checked the judge's ask a company is he is he in the room they said probable. highly probable 3 other companies from the u.k. are saying one is saying 85 percent is her and the other like face 1st recognition companies exactly. facial recognition so this is what they were saying so you know what the judges did with 4 companies saying it's she was in the company this is what i said from the very beginning by the way she was attending my electorate so she was not in the audience by the way just ask yourself is it possible to secrete sic a straight somebody in a room in the heart of whom is it not possible to get out so that that the starting point of this is just. there is strange story that we have but morley claims you

took her crawls you took her phone that she can't fly do it she changed the stories for time here the story for them but the point is that when we had all this evidence that she was attending the lecture she asked the chargers asked my mother asked my father as my ex boyfriend asked kathleen for hest the same woman asked another woman who was and the judges are relying on the friends against the evidence is coming from the companies the expert kompany is that doesn't work now add to this this is due more to important thing that came in august the investigators found in her computer messages between her and another woman seeks the before our meeting saying what were setting a trap for tariq ramadan her defense could say that she was trying to set

a trap to get you any compromising situation but that doesn't necessarily contradict that compromising situation being turned into a criminal i say breaks except that there are s.m.s. this that that were found by the investigators this as investors are saying i didn't know if you liked me i missed you as soon as i crossed the door she claimed that this messages were sent before the meeting and then the investigators went to the mo by phone they were sent after how could you be raped when just after the meeting you say i missed you and i want to see you again and then if i didn't i.
