Yaël Braun-Pivet supports a commission of inquiry into the Lyhanna case

National Assembly President Yaël Braun-Pivet expressed her support on Thursday for the creation of a parliamentary commission of inquiry into the Lyhanna case. She stipulated one condition: that this initiative not prevent the authorities from taking immediate action. The young woman's funeral took place on Friday, amidst national grief and questions about the shortcomings of the institutions in the face of this tragedy.

A request brought by Innocence in Danger

The Innocence in Danger association has formally requested that a commission examine the conditions under which transnational organized sexual crime cases have been handled in France over the past ten years. This request comes as the Lyhanna case raises numerous questions about potential shortcomings in the handling of sensitive cases involving minors. The request reflects the urgent need for a thorough review of child protection mechanisms.

Yaël Braun-Pivet clarified that she fully supported this approach if parliamentarians so desired. Her stance reflects a desire for transparency while maintaining the need for concrete and swift action. The Lyhanna case has now crystallized a major political and legal debate on the effectiveness of existing mechanisms against transnational criminal networks.
