At a mass protest against the decision by France's highest court not to prosecute the suspected killer of Sarah Halimi, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo announced the French capital would name a street after the victim of the anti-Semitic hate crime.

"We know that what's at stake in this story is not just the Jewish community, but the Republic. We must turn up because an anti-Semitic murder has taken place, and this crime must be tried," Mayor Anne Hidalgo told the French-language BFMTV news channel at a mass protest against the court ruling, Sunday.

On Tuesday, France's Supreme Court rejected a complaint lodged by the family of Sarah Halimi, who was allegedly brutally killed by her neighbor Kabili Troare in 2018, against the Paris Court of Appeals' 2019 ruling that Kobili Traoré, 27, who shouted "Allahu Akbar" before killing his 65-year-old neighbor, could not be tried as he had consumed an excessive amount of marijuana and had been "delusional" at the time of the attack.

"Justice must be done for Sarah Halimi. I think we need a new law and that this law should be named after Sarah Halimi. And we must fight anti-Semitism because it is a plague, a plague that undermines the foundations of our republic and our democracy," Hidalgo said.

"We also have the responsibility today to carry this message, it must be done with determination. I also mean that a street will bear the name of Sarah Halimi in Paris, it is a project we'll work on with the family," she said.
