Jean Calas
Jean Calas was a French Protestant merchant who became a victim of religious intolerance in 1762 when he was wrongfully accused and executed for the alleged murder of his son, a charge that Voltaire later proved to be a fabrication, leading to Calas's posthumous exoneration and a significant shift towards religious tolerance in France.
