Algerian Olympic champion boxer files criminal complaint in France against X over alleged ‘cyber-harassment
Algeria's Imane Khelif was at the centre of a global gender eligibility row during her Olympic run in Paris. Photograph: James Crombie/Inpho, who was the subject of a global gender eligibility row during her Olympic run, became Algeria’s first gold medallist in women’s boxing and its first boxer overall to win gold since 1996.
That “ensures that the prosecution has all the latitude to be able to investigate against all people”, including those who may have written hateful messages under pseudonyms, Boudi said. Khelif was born female and has never identified as transgender or intersex. Asserting her gender, the IOC said: “Scientifically, this is not a man fighting a woman.”
In another tweet, the Harry Potter author said: “I don’t claim Khelif is trans. My objection, and that of many others, is to male violence against women becoming an Olympic sport.” Boudi told Variety that although the complaint mentioned names, “what we’re asking is that the prosecution investigates not only these people but whoever it feels necessary”. He added: “If the case goes to court, they will stand trial.”
