A court in Marseille sentenced, on 24 April, the four neo-nazis arrested in July last year for the desecration of a Jewish cemetery in Carpentras, southern France (see Statewatch, vol 6 no 4). Two of the accused, Yannick Garnier and Bertrand Nouveau, expressed regret about the desecration when the trial opened in March, saying they had abandoned their fascist views. The court sentenced them to 20 months in prison. The other two defendants, Oliver Fimbrey and Patrick Laonegro, received the maximum sentence of two years in prison.
