The HQ, nightclub in Besançon (Doubs) decided to challenge in court this Tuesday, November 19, the administrative closure for 30 days pronounced seven days earlier by the prefect of Doubs Rémi Bastille. This sanction followed the attack on a 26-year-old soldier in front of the establishment and complaints from local residents for several months. The young man attacked by three men died from his serious injuries five days later.
According to our information, the managers decided to challenge the prefect's decision before the administrative court, by forming a “referred suspension”, an emergency procedure which allows you to ask the administrative judge to suspend the execution of an administrative decision whose legality is contested.

A hearing is scheduled for November 25, confirms the Besançon administrative court. Contacted by France 3, the leaders of the HQ have so far not responded to our request. Their lawyer, Me Thibault Bouchoudjian, “prefer to reserve any declaration until later”.
“This emblematic place in Besançon is much more than a nightclub” : this is what Le QG supports in the description of its petition launched this fall. Threatened with closure, the night establishment denounced neighbors who, according to him, “decided that our presence no longer suited them” and administrations which do not have “not chosen the camp of the Bisontine youth”.
A call for help which has already collected nearly 3,000 signatures since its launch. For the moment the discotheque is closed by decision of the prefect for one month, until December 12.
