A symbolic casket draped in a French flag and bearing the name of Robert Badinter, the justice minister who ended the death penalty in France in 1981, is carried up towards the Pantheon in Paris, ahead of a solemn ceremony presided over by Emmanuel Macron. His remains are to stay in a cemetery outside Paris and the coffin contains his lawyer's robe, a speech he made against capital punishment and several books, his wife told the TF1 television broadcaster.
