 French activist Thaïs d’Escufon has vowed to appeal her latest conviction after a court fined her €1,000 over comments linking immigration to violence against women, while dropping the possibility of a prison sentence.

D’Escufon, who says she was sexually assaulted by a Tunisian migrant in 2022, revealed the outcome in a video message to supporters, describing the ruling as a significant reduction from the punishment she had been facing.

“I went from facing four months in prison to receiving a €1,000 fine,” she said.

The activist had been prosecuted over statements in which she argued that “the main threat to women in France comes from black and Arab immigrant men.” According to d’Escufon, prosecutors sought a four-month custodial sentence over those remarks.

D’Escufon posted a screenshot of the verdict on her Patreon, which confirmed she had been convicted of public insult on the basis of origin, ethnicity, nationality, race, or religion.........more...........
