The young man of 22 years old, living in a truck and arrested Saturday in Iffendic (Ille-et-Vilaine), was indicted and imprisoned on Monday, in particular for unlawful organization of a festive gathering and endangering of the life of others. His lawyer assured him that he was not an organizer, saying he was “shocked” by the imprisonment of his client with a clean criminal record.
“Inconceivable to go in prison for having made dance ”
“It doesn’t matter if this person is really related to the organization, what we know is that it is inconceivable to go in prison for making women and men dance! We demand the immediate release of the accused and the end of the disproportionate prosecutions against the organizers ”, add the support committees. A message widely taken up in the little-known community of the party. “A guy from 20 years old who has no record faces ten years in prison for making people dance on New Years Eve. This is delirium! And it’s very serious ”, confided a Breton teufeuse to
