Olympic champion Iman Khelif The Algerian filed a complaint with the Paris prosecutor’s office for cyberbullying.
On Friday, Khelif, who failed the gender test, defeated China’s Yang Liu in the 66kg boxing final at the 2024 Olympics. Many social media users doubted the integrity of the Algerian victory.
— Iman Khelif, who has just become champion of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, has decided to lead a new fight. A fight for justice, dignity and honor.
A complaint for aggravated cyberbullying has been filed with the anti-hate unit of the Paris prosecutor’s office. The criminal investigation will determine who launched this misogynistic, racist and sexist campaign, but it will also have to focus on those who facilitated this digital lynching. The unjust persecution suffered by the boxing champion will remain the greatest stain of these Olympic Games, the athlete’s lawyer said in a statement published on social networks.
In 2023, the International Boxing Association (IBA) suspended Khelif from the World Championships in India for failing to meet eligibility criteria. Following the gender test, it was proven that the athlete has XY chromosomes. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) admitted Khelif to women’s competitions in 2024. Her results at the Games sparked strong reactions in the media and society. The Algerian woman complained of harassment on social media, her father showed her birth certificate to prove that the athlete was born a girl.
The Olympic Games in the French capital will end on August 11.
