Prosecutors have called for French right-wing leader Marine Le Pen to be tried for tweeting pictures of atrocities committed by the Islamic State group, judicial sources said.
Le Pen shared the gruesome images in December 2015, a few weeks after ISIS jihadists killed 130 people in attacks in Paris – and after a French journalist drew a comparison between the jihadist group and her party. Her move sparked widespread condemnation in France.
One of the pictures showed the body of James Foley, an American journalist beheaded by the Sunni extremists. Another showed a man in an orange jumpsuit being run over by a tank and the third showed a Jordanian pilot being burned alive in a cage.
‘Daesh is this!’ Le Pen wrote in a caption, using an Arabic acronym for ISIS.
She is facing a possible three year jail term and a fine of 75,000 euro’s if an investigating magistrate decides a trial should take place for ‘circulating violent pictures liable to bee seen by children’.
Prosecutors demanded that another member of her National Rally party, Gilbert Collard, also be tried on similar charges.
Le Pen, who lost to Emmanuel Macron in the 2017 presidential elections, was stripped of her parliamentary immunity over the pictures and thereafter charged with circulating violent messages.
Last year, she expressed outrage after the investigative magistrate called for her to undergo psychiatric tests in connection with her tweeting.
She has denounced the case against her as a violation of her freedom of expression.

“Last year, she expressed outrage after the investigative magistrate called for her to undergo psychiatric tests in connection with her tweeting.”
Welcome to the French Fascist State, a member of the EUSSR. Psychiatric tests? The only people requiring psychiatric tests are the sociopaths and gangsters who now rule France and most of western world. Let’s hope the Yellow Vests are able to Take Back France from the criminals now in charge. Macron at 18% in the polls is finished but there is no shortage of sociopathic gangsters to replace him with.
Coming to America, soon.
Perhaps if the Gouvernment du Macron and the E.U. totalitarians in Brussels make Mme. LePen a martyr of conscience, and actually prosecute her for telling the truth (about ISIS no less), I pray that would be enough to vault her into the leadership of France and save the sinking ship.
Vive Mme LePen, vive La Liberte, vive La France libre.
Free Speech for me but not for thee. Coming soon to America. It is taking place on college campuses now.
yep,
what’s being taught in schools today will start becoming law in 10-15 years–
i think your timing might be a little off … perhaps months as opposed to years …. ‘things’ are happening quickly these days
When a mind goes Left, it goes where Angels fear to tread. TPTB of France went Left, entered the Stockholm Tunnel, and fell into a Black Hole of Insanity to Hell. They prosecute Brave Patriots who Diss their Muslim Enemies, who are cutting French Citizen’s heads off; unbelievable. France is turning into an Insane Asylum in Hell.
Ask why criticism of the (nominally Sunni) ISIS is now verboten in globalist-occupied countries like France and Germany, when such criticism was completely acceptable even three or four years ago.

What I see, is a probable Chinese oil-grab taking place, and an Israeli turn to China-as-protector deal – presumably involving the transfer of western military technology to China and the presumptive operation of Israeli spy networks in western nations as a de facto arm of Chinese intelligence.
So, who does Macron answer to? Who does Merkel answer to? Obviously neither care about what their own populations want, so who is pulling their strings?
One need merely ask “who benefits?”
the devil …. that’s who benefits
Why do conservatives idolize this woman? She even says that she herself is to the left of Barack Obama. Just looks like more controlled opposition to me.
Europe and Great Britain are gone. Better get used to it.
What the leftist French bags of shit are doing to LePenn the American leftist bags of shit are trying to do to Trump and all freedom loving people able to actually think for themselves are next . Note the mental illness aspersions . Mien Furhhea would be pleased !
Forget Me Not
And yet people like maxine waters get reelected, term after term.
“was stripped of her parliamentary immunity over the pictures and thereafter charged with circulating violent messages“……
so informing people exactly by showing what exactly occured is racist and some type of phobe and therefore a chargeable offense of circulating “violence” but nothing is being said about the actual violence that was being shown. The govt is corrupt and all should be hanged for treason against the people. WHen they start protecting the perpetrators and prosceuting the media or people for showing the truth this will eventually end in bloodshed and only one winner is the outcome either the corrupt govt politicians or the people. The people always win at a much greater expense and significant pain as history has shown, but the people always win in due time. Lest these corrupt arses forget. Tempus fugit, momento mori.
