They have been very discreet so far.

Since Tuesday, the organizers of the rave party which took place on New Year's Eve in Lieuron, south of Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine) have been trying to give voice.

After a forum addressed to

Liberation

, support committees call for a rally on Saturday in Rennes to demand “the immediate release” of the 22-year-old man imprisoned since Monday evening.

Suspected of being one of the organizers of the illegal party, this man without a criminal record was remanded in custody "to avoid any risk of consultation", argued the public prosecutor Philippe Astruc.

For his support, the man accused of 16 charges "is presented as the figure of the irresponsible criminal", write this Wednesday the support committees of Rennes, Nantes, Paris and Toulouse as well as a "National Coordination of Sounds" .

The 22-year-old young man, living in a truck and arrested Saturday in Iffendic (Ille-et-Vilaine), was indicted and imprisoned on Monday, in particular for unlawful organization of a festive gathering and endangering the life of other.

His lawyer assured that he was not an organizer, saying he was "shocked" by the imprisonment of his client with a clean criminal record.

"Inconceivable to go to prison for having made dance"

“It doesn't matter if this person is really connected with the organization, what we know is that it is inconceivable to go to prison for having made women and men dance!

We demand the immediate release of the accused and the end of the disproportionate prosecutions against the organizers ”, add the support committees.

A message widely taken up in the little-known community of the party.

“A 22-year-old guy with no record faces ten years in prison for making people dance on New Year's Eve.

This is delirium!

And it's very serious ”, confided a Breton teufeuse to

20 Minutes

.

Faced with the press on Monday evening, the Rennes prosecutor said that several organizers were "actively sought" by the gendarmes in charge of the investigation, judging the organization of the wild party as "irresponsible and deeply asocial behavior".
