Benefit Book in Police Defamation Case

Matthias Wivel at Metabunker talks about the small-publisher driven benefit book Tous Coupables!, designed to bring relief to fines levied on the writer, cover artist and publisher of Vos Papiers! Que faire face a la police. All three actors were fined in a decision that included a description of the image as racially biased. Wivel blasts the lack of attention paid to the case in light of the Charlie-Hebdo trial, and suggests that French culture may see a difference in Free Speech rights when it comes to discussing the French police and Islam. Great short piece, with supplementary links worth following.
