French Intellectual Sentenced to 2 Months in Prison For Calling Mass Immigration an “Invasion”

"French intellectual Renaud Camus has been given a 2 month suspended prison sentence for saying that mass immigration into Europe represents an “invasion.”

Camus will only avoid jail by paying 1800 euros to two “anti-racist” organizations, SOS Racisme and the LICRA (International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism).

The writer, who is the author of Le Grand Remplacement (The Great Replacement), was charged with “public incitement to hate or violence on the basis of origin, ethnicity, nationality, race or religion.”

The conviction stems from a November 2017 speech in Colombey-les-deux Eglises to the National Council of European Resistance in which Camus declared, “Immigration has become an invasion.”"

"And there you have it. Free speech is now a crime in France."

They lost the freedom of speech and the ability to hold an opinion of their choice.  Government will soon drive them either to mindless compliance, or another French Revolution.

How the court thinks that Camus' statement, “Immigration has become an invasion,” is in any way a “public incitement to hate or violence on the basis of origin, ethnicity, nationality, race or religion,”  I do not understand.  That is completely imbecilic.  Obviously there is NO right to free speech left in France at all.
