Olympic female boxer Imane Khelif has filed an online harassment complaint in Paris. The Algerian gold medalist was the target of an online hate campaign about her gender identity, describing her as a transgender person competing in the wrong category and committing “violence against women.” The comments were viewed over 100 million times, said her lawyer, who stated, “The criminal investigation will determine who initiated this misogynistic, racist, and sexist campaign, but will also have to focus on those who fueled this digital lynching. The unfair harassment suffered by the boxing champion will remain the biggest stain of these Olympic Games.”
