Verdicts are due later on Wednesday in the trial of 20 men following the November 2015 attacks in Paris, the worst on French soil since World War II.

French court finds 20 guilty for 2015 Islamist attacks in Paris

The only surviving attacker from the 2015 terrorist massacre at the Bataclan theater and other sites in Paris has been convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. That is the most severe sentence possible in France, and very rare.

Social media users had expressed concern that Salah Abdeslam could be released after 30 years due to a provision claiming this is an option. But is it possible to ask for parole during the incompressible life sentence?

The sole surviving member of an Islamic State terror cell that killed 130 people in Paris in November 2015 was handed a whole-life sentence by a French court on Wednesday, the toughest punishment possible.

The 2015 attacks killed 130 people and were the deadliest in peacetime France’s history.

The verdict capped a 10-month trial on the Islamic State rampage of November 2015 that killed 130 people, traumatized the country and still shapes French politics.

Salah Abdeslam is believed to be the last surviving member of the terrorist cell that carried out the attacks.
