Court Sentences Student for Anti-Muslim Stickers
(MENAFN) A French court has condemned a student to six months of suspended imprisonment for distributing anti-Muslim stickers, as reported by the Collective for Countering Islamophobia in Europe (CCIE) on Friday.
"A 19-year-old man was handed a six-month suspended prison sentence on Thursday by the criminal court in Orleans for putting up anti-Muslim stickers in the city and on the university campus in May 2025," the CCIE shared on the US-based social media platform X.
The CCIE highlighted that the court took into account the student's "diminished capacity for judgment," which led to a sentence less severe than what prosecutors had initially sought.
"His sentence includes a two-year probationary suspension, 70 hours of community service, a requirement to undergo treatment, a ban on carrying weapons, a €200 fine, as well as compensation for the civil parties," the CCIE added.
Authorities discovered that some of the anti-Muslim stickers referenced a Nazi officer, although the student rejected any intent to glorify the officer.
He explained that the act was meant as a "provocative gesture" rather than a political statement.
