Nope, not satire.
As of Wednesday, French woman Thaïs d'Escufon was facing possible time in jail for a 2023 comment she made on BFM TV when discussing migrant crime.
This was the comment:
The main danger for women is immigrant men, Africans, blacks, and Arabs.
Anyone with a functioning prefrontal cortex knows this is true. The data repeatedly confirms it, including this week's Rape Gang Inquiry Report in the UK, which says 87-95% of the perpetrators are of Muslim origin.
The French government said that trusting mathematical statistics (and your eyeballs) is racist. It charged d'Escufon with a hate crime.
From The European Conservative:
The Tribunal Judiciaire (criminal court) of Paris has scheduled the announcement of the verdict for Thursday, June 18. Prosecutors have requested a sentence of up to one year in prison and a fine of 45,000 euros for 'incitement to racial hatred.'
On December 7, 2021, d'Escufon reported that she had been assaulted by a Tunisian migrant who followed her inside as she returned home from exercising.
For half an hour, she says was held captive by the man, and that he demanded that she perform sex acts on him. She resisted, and managed to get him to leave after giving him a kiss on the cheek.
The Parquet de Lyon (local prosecutor's office) opened an investigation into the matter. Her claim has never debunked, despite incentive from both the government and the leftwing media to do so. She was, after all, the spokeswoman for the anti-immigration Génération Identitaire (GI) movement, which was dissolved by French President Emmanuel Macron after a high court ruling for being too "extreme."
When she made the "offending" comment on TV in 2023, she was discussing the rape of another woman at the hands of a migrant.
Meanwhile, rapes in France more than tripled between 2016 and 2023, with continued escalation as migration remains unchecked.
Per Statista:
On Thursday, d'Escufon was indeed found guilty for suggesting that hordes of migrant men are the greatest threat to women.
But the court was "nice" to her by only forcing her to pay a €1,000 fine.
She's refusing to accept even that, however. 👇
I have decided to appeal this decision. Yes, it is a risk. I could end up receiving a harsher sentence, but after everything you have done for me, I simply do not have the right to be a coward.
In the past, I stood defenseless against what I see as a corrupt justice system. You have now given me both the financial and the psychological means to fight back.
I know I will never be alone again, because accepting this ruling would mean surrendering to a dominant narrative.
It would be admitting that I was wrong to speak out against what I believe threatens the French people.
It would mean accepting a criminal record like an ordinary offender, when my only 'crime' was speaking out what I believe was in the public's interest.
And while I am prosecuted for words, look at what is allowed to flourish elsewhere.
...
So it is for them, the invisible, that I want to keep fighting. And I promise you this: Even if I am too radical for the right-wing politicians in France, my determination and my radicality will not move an inch.
