The Geneva based Islamic academic, Tariq Ramadan, has had his conviction of rape upheld by the Federal Court.
Ramadan was born in Geneva, has studied at the University of Geneva and lectured at Oxford.
Federal judges rejected his claims that a Geneva court failed to properly assess the evidence against him and threw out his arguments of procedural errors.
They called his claims ‘arbitrary’.
In 2024, a Geneva court found him guilty of rape and sexual coercion of a woman he met in a Geneva hotel in 2008.
He was sentenced to three years in jail, one of which was suspended.
