PARIS (Reuters) - The Paris prosecutor's office said on Monday it was opening an investigation into an alleged racist insult after a French right-wing magazine published an article with an illustration portraying a Black member of parliament as a slave.
The article in the magazine Valeurs Actuelles, titled "Obono the African", gives a fictional account of politician Daniele Obono returning to 18th century Africa. She is pictured with an iron collar around her neck.
