"The December 8 case" will be judged from October 3 to 27 ---- 

On December 8, 2020, the DGSI accompanied by heavily armed police officers

(GAO, RAID) carried out an anti-terrorist operation across the four
corners of France. This violent operation led to the arrest of nine
activists, then the indictment of seven of them, five of whom were
subsequently detained for several months. They are charged with
"criminal terrorist association" (Art. 421) and "refusal to communicate
its encryption conventions" ---- Their trial will take place before room
16 (anti-terrorism) of the Paris criminal court of October 3 to 27.
Their political commitments and aspirations are not identical, each
campaigning in different struggles: support for refugee families,
projects for autonomy and collective places in the countryside, support
for victims of state murders, squatting of political activities and
cultural, ecology and defense of the animal cause, involvement in Zones
To Defend, activism in the punk scene, feminism, pro-Kurdish commitment
against DAESH, Yellow Vest movement, etc. They are long-time comrades in
social struggles .

In the current security context, there is no doubt that this trial will
be heavily exploited by those in power.

Remote activation of "snitch" phones and all connected objects adopted
by the National Assembly
Already validated by the Senate, it is a provision of the justice
programming bill which was approved by the Assembly nationally on July
5. Its article 33 provides for authorizing the remote triggering of
cameras or microphones of computers and other connected devices, such as
telephones, without the knowledge of the persons concerned, with two
different purposes. On the one hand, real-time geolocation for certain
offenses. On the other hand, the activation of microphones and cameras
to capture sound and images, which would be reserved for cases of
terrorism and organized delinquency and crime. In this vast article 3 of
the text, the extension of the use of night searches and the possibility
of using a teleconsultation for a medical examination during an
extension of police custody are also provided for.

The victories of the most fascist police unions
In a few days of threats and illegal sick leave following the police
lynching of a young man in Marseille, Darmanin gave in!
The Sinister went to visit a police station to express his "total
confidence" and his "full support" for the police, before receiving the
police unions. Shortly after, they published a press release claiming
the victory of their "union bloc" (Alliance.UNSA-police). Here are the
extremely serious decisions that have been announced:

The Macron clan will table a bill giving special status to law
enforcement, protecting them in the event of prosecution. This would
officially be the end of equality of citizens before the law, a basic
principle of a democracy.
Darmanin also promised that bonuses will be paid even in the event of
suspension. Concretely, the murderer of Nahel or the agent who smashed
Hedi's head will receive bonuses in addition to their salaries, which
they already continue to receive despite overwhelming facts.
The Sinistre guarantees complete legal and functional protection for the
police officers being prosecuted. Clearly, a police officer may have
committed the most unjustifiable acts of barbarity, he will still be
"protected", that is to say that public money will be used to offer him
the best lawyers, to use all means to protect him. his disposition to
defend him. The victims of their violence have no help of any kind and
must go into debt for years simply to demand justice.
Finally, it will generalize the "anonymization" of police officers,
which is already widely practiced. In addition to the balaclavas and the
absence of the possibility of identifying the police officers, the names
of the agents will no longer appear on the reports but numbers. By
guaranteeing their anonymity in all documents, the most total
arbitrariness will be guaranteed.

France: European state where we are the most stuck!
In 2002, the National Automated Genetic Fingerprint File (FNAEG),
created in 1998 to list people convicted of rape or corruption of a
minor, only recorded 2,824 individuals. Since then, security laws and
population control have increased so much that it is enough to be
stopped for a tag or the slightest demonstration for the police to ask
for your DNA. It is now systematic and presented as obligatory for the
slightest arrest. With the implicit objective of genetically documenting
the entire population.
According to an internal European Union document from May 2023, 6.5
million French DNA are now recorded, or more than 10% of the population
over 20 years old! And this data is kept for 10 to 40 years, without any
transparency.
3 out of 4 people appearing in the FNAEG are presumed innocent, due to
not having been convicted for what led to their inclusion, but are still
listed as "suspects".
And that's just the tip of the police iceberg. Including indirectly
identifiable people, this represents almost half of the French
population! Indeed, DNA makes it possible to identify a person but also
to search for the parents, brothers and sisters of the people on file,
and therefore five times more people on average.
France is well ahead of the 27 countries of the European Union. In
comparison, Germany comes far behind with 1.2 million, followed by Spain
with 460,000 and the Netherlands with almost 400,000. And Germany erases
DNA profiles that are no longer useful for investigations, while France
continues to accumulate them, despite several warnings from the CNIL and
Europe.

The "anti-squat" law has passed!
The law increases sanctions to three years' imprisonment and a fine of
45,000 euros against people posing as owners in order to rent property
that does not belong to them. The judge will no longer be able to grant
a delay to squatters whose eviction has been judicially ordered.
A new offense has also been created, punishing with a fine of 3,750
euros propaganda or advertising in favor of methods encouraging the
invasion of a home. The Constitutional Council validated it.
The bill also speeds up procedures in the event of unpaid rent. There is
a systematic provision in lease contracts for an "automatic termination
clause". Activating this clause will allow a landlord to obtain
termination of the lease without having to take legal action and, thus,
be able to obtain an eviction more quickly.
The Droit Au Logement (DAL) association called for a rally in front of
the Palais du Luxembourg at the time of the last reading, under the
slogan "Housing is not a crime, it is a right!"»
In its annual report, the Abbé Pierre Foundation estimated the number of
homeless people in France at 330,000, which is 30,000 more than the
previous year. In addition, the number of households seeking social
housing - it stands at 2.42 million - has never been so high.

For Darmanin, social housing is a tool of repression, it must be earned!
The mayor of Reims thought about it (see article on the urban revolts at
the beginning of the summer), a prefect did it! Indeed, the Val-d'Oise
prefecture announced on August 23 on the social network The reason
given? One of the members of the household was sentenced at the
beginning of July to 12 months in prison for having participated in the
looting of a supermarket and an optician in the city center.
But there is a problem: Such an expulsion can only be decided by the
courts, following a long procedure. This prefect even went so far as to
publish photos of the expulsion on the social network X (formerly
Twitter). This tweet wrongly suggests that the eviction was decided by
the Prefect, and that it is linked to the conviction of the tenant's son
following the riots. However, any eviction can only be motivated by
non-compliance with the lease. Acts of delinquency are not valid
grounds; it must be demonstrated that these people create nuisances for
the neighborhood, prohibited in the lease contract. Finally, this
prefect then admitted to Agence France-Presse (AFP) that the expulsion
decision was "pre-existing" and taken "for another reason" (certainly
for unpaid debts). He wanted to take advantage of this expulsion to make
people believe that he had such power in order to scare all the families!
The people expelled have not been judged; according to the courts, they
are not guilty in any way of any facts linked to the revolts at the
beginning of the summer.
Since this well-publicized affair, the Minister of the Interior and the
Secretary of State responsible for the city have argued in a letter
addressed to the prefects on August 30, that the commission of "an act
of serious delinquency near its location residence" constitutes "an
attack on the peaceful use of one's accommodation", the ministers cite
articles 1.728 of the civil code and 7 of law 89-462 of July 6, 1989.
"On this basis, a lessor can seize the civil judge so that the latter
pronounces the termination of the lease of the dwelling and the eviction
of any occupant to restore the tranquility of the premises.
The State seems to have found a way to prevent urban revolts, at least
to scare families. But it's not that simple. The president of the Social
Housing Union which brings together all social landlords also asked
Darmanin to reread the civil code.
"Of the two texts targeted by Gérald Darmanin's note - article 1728 of
the Civil Code and article 7 of the 1989 law on the obligations of
tenants - neither concerns urban riots and a fortiori crimes unrelated
to the "occupation of housing", underlines the general director of the
USH (Social Union for Housing), Marianne Louis, who does not see in
these texts any reason for termination of lease due to participation in
urban riots.

Denunciation is still going strong in France
In 2009, the government created the PHAROS platform to report illegal
content and behavior on the Internet. Around 40 cops work to sort and
cross-reference reports. From 50,000 reports the first year, reports are
now close to 300,000. And following the revolt after Nahel's death, more
than 2,700 reports were received, contributing to the particularly
severe repression: already more than a hundred Investigations opened and
32 people sentenced to prison following these reports.

ACAB as the scarecrow on our cover says
The social role of police officer is risky: a cop, for example, is six
times less likely to die at work than a construction worker. However, it
is an increasingly dangerous "job"... for others: according to figures
from the IGPN, which cannot be accused of being anti-cop, police crimes
have more than doubled between 2017 and 2021, going from 14 to 37. This
constant increase is explained in particular by the law passed in 2017
which offered the police, the gendarmerie and even the municipal police
very broad authorization to shoot, considerably modifying police
doctrine In France. Written and voted on by the PS in an almost empty
Assembly, it satisfied the demands of the nightly demonstrations, armed
and autonomous, of dozens of hooded police officers the previous fall,
who demanded a license to kill.

To get out of the Rsa: become a cop!
RSA recipients in Paris were surprised to be offered municipal police
positions by email at the beginning of July. As the Olympics approach,
Paris town hall is trying to recruit more than 200 additional agents to
"secure" the event. To sell them the job, the municipal police officers
spoke to them about the needs for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
"Basically, they told us that they were looking for 200 agents to clean
the streets before the arrival of the tourists. The director was also
fixing the tables on the terraces which encroach on the sidewalk,"
recalls a resident of Ile-de-France at the Rsa. According to him,
beneficiaries would have inquired about the weapons they had. The police
reportedly responded that they would not have firearms but bullet-proof
vests, batons and gas cans. Finally, interested RSA recipients must take
tests - two written, two sports and one oral - between January 2024 and
June 2024. These new recruits should have their admission results in
September 2024 and be deployed at the start of the year 2025, after
their six-month training. The new recruits will therefore not be
deployed during the Games.
