    Article is worth a read, it is short.

    An arrest warrant for the 63-year-old has been issued, said presiding Judge Corinne Goetzmann, as the sentence cannot be enforced until Ramadan is arrested in France.

    The court also banned the scholar from setting foot on French territory again following the end of his sentence.

    However, since Switzerland does not extradite its citizens to other countries, it is unclear how the well-known academic will be brought to justice.

    In 2024, Ramadan was convicted in a separate case of rape and sexual assault in Switzerland.

    Four rapes discussed in this article.

    Edit: I do not know the number of incidences. Four women were raped.
