BBC’s Headline On Conservative Student Beaten To Death Sparks Massive Backlash

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) sparked massive backlash on Tuesday for labeling a conservative student beaten to death by a mob a “far-right student” in a recently published headline.

Authorities charged a group of nine far-left militants with fatally beating 23-year-old Quentin Deranque in Lyon, France, during a protest. The BBC published the headline, “Nine arrested in France over death of far-right student,” which sparked outrage among conservatives online.

The article, written by Hugh Schofield, stated that Deranque was beaten at a protest held by so-called “far-right feminists” at the Institute of Political Studies. The suspects who were detained are reportedly linked to a far-left militant group called La Jeune Garde (Young Guard), according to the BBC. Among those arrested was a parliamentary assistant from the far-left France Unbowed (LFI) party.
