Statement by Alternative Libertaire (France)

On Friday 10th November four militants, Jean-Pascal, Reda, Valentin and Pierre-Louis were sentenced by the court in Aix-en-Provence. All four were accused of "rebellion" and "violence towards members of the police force in the performance of their duties" during events as part of the anti-CPE movement.


Heavy sentences against 4 anti-CPE protestors

On Friday 10th November four militants, Jean-Pascal, Reda, Valentin and Pierre-Louis were sentenced by the court in Aix-en-Provence. All four were accused of "rebellion" and "violence towards members of the police force in the performance of their duties" during events as part of the anti-CPE movement. Only Jean-Pascal faced both charges, the three others being found guilty "only" of rebellion, but the verdict pronounced at the end of the trial was very heavy:
  • 4 months' prison for Jean-Pascal (with suspension)
  • 2 months' prison for Reda, Valentin and Pierre-Louis(with suspension).
To that must be added fines of €5,800 for damages. The judge has also requested an expert assessment in connection with a claim by one of the police officers, who was off work for a month. If the assessment finds in favour of the policeman, then our comrades could face having to pay him a month's wages (including social insurance payments). The three other officers involved in the case as plaintiffs have also been authorized by the court to submit for assessment. The total amount that may need paying could amount to €12,000!

A reminder of the facts

On 1st June last, students at the faculty of literature in Marseilles university prevented the holding of the first "university/employment" debate at the university. The second debate, which took place in the "law" faculty saw some violent confrontations involving students, who were beaten back from the entrance to the hall by police, who were responsible for "security" at the event. Following a scuffle with the police, one Alternative Libertaire member, Jean-Pascal, was dragged out from among a crowd of students by police and beaten viciously, before being taken into police custody. The following day, three other militants, one of whom is an AL member, were the victims of targeted arrests by the anti-crime squad.

This unjust verdict exemplifies the legal rampage which anti-CPE militants in France have been the victims of more or less everywhere. After its humiliation on the streets, the government is looking for revenge in the courts of "justice". This criminalization of social struggle has now reached the stage where it is enough for those in power to bark in order that "justice" is done. The withdrawal of the CPE was secured by means of a mass, united struggle. This determination and this unity must re-emerge to defend our comrades when they are prosecuted.

The defence fund we launched last June for this case is still open. If you want to help our comrades you can send a cheque made out to SIA (write "Solidarité répression" on the rear) to:

I'm assuming it is the name of the police agency involved, but could you give us the meaning of CPE and whether they are central, regional or local government police? thanks.

Once again, capitalist society happily violates its own legality in the affair being known as the "anarcho-autonomous movement", following the arrest of 10 people as part of an investigation into "acts of sabotage" on SNCF railway lines: the presumption of innocence blithely ignored; the use of ultra-repressive measures provided for by anti-terrorist legislation in a case which is evidently nothing to do with terrorism; charges of criminal association on the basis of a mere collection of political documents without any concrete facts to back up this "evidence"!

textAlternative libertaire faced with an unusual repression 04:36 Sat 17 Jun by Alternative libertaire 0 comments

Today, Alternative libertaire is the target of a repression unusual in scope and timing: in less than 3 weeks, 6 AL activists have been targeted. Each time, the link has been the same: the challenge to State racism and antisocial policy, whose latest avatar is the so-called “Law of Chance Equality”, known by its French acronym CPE. This law generated 12 weeks of exemplary social struggle that ended with the CPE's withdrawal. Today, the State wants Alternative libertaire to pay for the role it played in the strikes and blockades.
