show disrespect

Organisers of the Paris Olympics have said there was "never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group" and that the intent was to "celebrate community tolerance."

“There was clearly never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group,” said Paris 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps at a news conference Sunday.

"In the daily press briefing, the Organising Committee said that there was never any intention to show disrespect towards any religious group or belief," the statement said.

"If they can't bring him in line, is the judge going to basically say, 'You're, in effect, encouraging your client to show disrespect to the court and the judicial process, and if so, you're failing to act as an officer of the court and we're going to sanction you?"

Addressing Sir Mark personally, the letter stated: "You and your organisation continue to show disrespect for Baroness Lawrence and have now shown that your public pronouncements with regards to your commitment to investigating the murder of Stephen are hollow and meaningless."
