A young demonstrator was sentenced to two months in prison for throwing tomatoes and a firecracker in the direction of the police during the anti-health pass demonstration on September 25 in Nancy, the prosecutor’s office announced on Saturday.
The man, born in 1993, was also banned from demonstrating in the city center for a year. He was arrested during this demonstration and placed in police custody for “voluntary violence without ITT on persons holding public authority,” said the public prosecutor François Pérain.
Another demonstrator, born in 1996, was also arrested during this demonstration: he admitted having thrown a tomato and a stone, “which in turn had hit a policeman in the back, as well as a bottle of water”, added the Nancy prosecutor. This young man is “under guardianship” and, pending a “mandatory” psychiatric expert report according to the prosecution, he was placed in pre-trial detention and will be tried on November 3.
