On Wednesday, December 7, on a proposal from several deputies,
the Committee of the laws adopted a bill of Valerie Boyer (UMP)
to penalize the protest of the Armenian genocide.
A similar socialist bill was passed October 12, 2006 by the National
Assembly but was rejected by the Senate on May 4, 2011.
This new text, co-signed by more than forty UMP and New Center,
punishes Armenian genocide denial to one year of prison and 45.000
euros fine.
"I hope that we will go to the end and that France will always be a
country of human rights," said Valerie Boyer.
The bill amends the law on freedom of press, so that racially motivated
crimes are now a common crime enshrined in the law on the freedom
of press.
The proposal must be approved by vote of Parliament in the coming
weeks, free-lance correspondent Jean Eckian informs.
