After two and a half years of investigations, the debate on the notion of the “right of way” has established itself in the heart of the folder Ramadan.
An expert psychiatrist seized by the justice believes that the main accusers of Tariq Ramadan have, in part under influence, agreed to have intimate relations with the islamologist but that they have not consented to the sexual acts of “extreme violence” that it has been subjected, according to its findings visited on Tuesday by AFP.
The co-investigating judges in paris, who have accused the islamic scholar of switzerland for the rape of four women had asked a forensic expert deemed, dr. Daniel Zagury, determine if links created by Tariq Ramadan with they were in “a relationship of domination”.

After two and a half years of investigations, the debate over this concept has established itself at the heart of this folder in which the accusers have sometimes been put in difficulty by the revelation of trade with Tariq Ramadan, considered to be “ambivalent” by the investigators.
In its conclusions, the expert believes that this dimension of influence, strongly opposed by the defence, is found in the relationships with the two main complainants, Henda Ayari and a woman called Christelle, who report having been raped, respectively, in 2012 and 2009.
expertise that establishes “the constraint”
This dimension “illuminates essentially the posterior face of the facts, giving an account of the ambivalence of feelings and reactions, and the persistence of the relationship in the long term.” About Henda Ayari, “for the earlier phase, it is necessary to consider also the intensity of the feelings of love that led her to consent to a sexual relationship,” he continued. The expert also believes that”it would be wrong to consider that only the grip has led [Christelle] to consent to a sexual encounter”.
But to the two women, he concludes, the same: “What she has not consented, it is the acts that she described as a mixture of extreme violence and lack of consideration for his own desire and his dignity.”
