The former dean of the law school of Montpellier (Hérault), Philippe Pétel, was sentenced this Friday, before the criminal court, to 18 months suspended sentence, and a former professor, Jean-Luc Coronel, member of the commando, to six months in prison, in the case of the violent evacuation of an amphitheater, in 2018.
The wife of this professor, prosecuted for having recruited the other members of the commando, was sentenced to the same sentence as her husband. A sentence that she will have, like him, to execute at his home, under electronic surveillance.
They had dislodged strikers
Martial Roudier, son of the founder of the identity group of the Ligue du Midi, accused of having been part of the commando, meanwhile received the most severe sentence this Friday, with one year in prison. Three other men were sentenced to six months in prison, under electronic wristbands.
On the night of March 22 to 23, 2018, while the law faculty was occupied by activists, trade unionists and students, mainly from the humanities faculty, a commando of hooded individuals had entered the amphitheater. Armed with wooden planks and, for one of them, an electric pulse pistol, they had forcibly dislodged the strikers, leaving around ten slightly injured.
