Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has filed a legal complaint for aggravated cyber harassment following her gold medal victory at the Paris 2024 Olympics, amidst a backdrop of intense online abuse questioning her gender. Khelif's lawyer, Nabil Boudi, stated that the complaint aims to investigate those behind the 'misogynistic, racist, and sexist' campaign against her, which has been referred to as a digital lynching. The controversy began after Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting were disqualified from the 2023 World Championships due to gender eligibility tests, which the International Boxing Association did not fully explain. Despite facing significant scrutiny, Khelif won her final match against China's Yang Liu, drawing attention to the hostile environment surrounding her participation. The International Olympic Committee had ultimately deemed Khelif eligible to compete, contrasting with the disqualification by the IBA. Human rights organizations have condemned the online harassment, highlighting the broader issues of sexism and racism in sports.
