“Free our comrade, free our comrade!” » The surroundings of the Blois police station were taken over by around fifty demonstrators on Wednesday December 18, 2024. All came to support a member of the France Palestine 41 association, “summoned” at the police station in the morning for a case “concerning her”.
“One of our spokespersons was notified a few days ago that she was being summonedreported Elsa, secretary of the France Palestine 41 association, around 9:30 a.m. We are not naive, this is intimidation linked to activism for Palestine. »
A file sent to the Blois public prosecutor’s office
The indignation escalated when, around 10 a.m., the crowd learned that the demonstrator was finally taken into police custody for “apology of terrorism”without us knowing, for the moment, either the facts in question, or the date of the alleged offense.
« We too, take us into custody! »shouted the demonstrators, castigating a “attack on freedom of expression to support a people who are the subject of a genocidal war”according to Didier Calvo, co-secretary of CGT 41.
Assisted by a lawyer, the spokesperson was still heard by the police around 11 a.m. The file will then be sent to the Blois public prosecutor’s office. He will decide in the coming days on the follow-up to be given to this custody, confirmed the interim public prosecutor of Blois, Florent Carpentier, to The New Republic.
