French courts have been imposing disproportionately severe sentences for minor offenses, including 10 months in prison for stealing a can of Red Bull and one year for a homeless boy with schizophrenia caught looting a luxury store. The overwhelmed courts rush cases, provide minimal time for defendants, and prioritize punishment under the instruction of the Justice Minister. Furthermore, the French government is censoring social media and justifying it by claiming to protect public order, but it infringes upon free speech and mirrors tactics used by authoritarian regimes. The justice system exhibits a double standard, favoring the privileged, and creates a class divide, leading to unrest. Ironically, the government compares itself to oppressive nations while undermining democratic principles.

      Nothing for now. He asked for liberation until his court case, justice said no.

      So he is still sleeping in prison. Apparently he and his colleague gave contradictory statements the IGPN (the police of police).

      I believe he will get time, but probably not that much and all the prison time made before the court count as well.

      So, protests incoming for the verdict in what, one year ?
