Judges upholds ruling against activists who called to boycott Israeli products; French law prohibits targeting of nations for discrimination
Frances highest court of appeals confirmed earlier rulings that found promoters of a boycott against Israel guilty of inciting hate or discrimination.
The rulings passed on Tuesday by the Paris-based Court of Cassation confirmed the convictions of 12 individuals by the Colmar Court of Appeals in connection with their 2009 and 2010 actions in supermarkets near the eastern city of Mulhouse.
The individuals arrived at the supermarket wearing shirts emblazoned with the words: Long live Palestine, boycott Israel. They also handed out flyers that said that buying Israeli products means legitimizing crimes in Gaza. [/quote]
