Activists Rally Behind Accused Football Star Achraf Hakimi
Online Petition Denounces "Smear Campaign" Against PSG Defender
A collective of French activists has launched an online petition titled “United for Achraf Hakimi” in support of the Moroccan footballer facing rape charges stemming from a 2023 incident in Nanterre. The petition, hosted on MesOpinions.com, alleges that Hakimi is the target of a "coordinated smear campaign." The Paris Saint-Germain defender remains eligible to play pending the outcome of legal proceedings.
"This campaign seeks to tarnish his reputation without due process," organizers state on the platform. Hakimi has denied the accusations.
