The independent journalist Gaspard Glanz, arrested Saturday during the act 23 of the "yellow vests", came out of custody on Monday night. He will be summoned to the court on 18 October for "insulting the person holding the public authority". In the meantime, the Paris court has banned the journalist from appearing in Paris every Saturday and May 1st.
"We will challenge by law this decision"
A decision that challenges the journalist's lawyer. "We consider it a measure that prevents him from working, which undermines freedom of expression and can lead to a professional death," he told Europe 1. "We will challenge this decision ".
On a video broadcast on YouTube on Saturday, we see the journalist call the police of the Republic Square and claim to have been targeted by a grenade of désencclement. The journalist then gives them a finger of honor after being pushed by a police officer. "We are shocked by the general repression that has fallen on many journalists since the beginning of the movement of yellow vests," said Monday Dominique Pradelié, general secretary of the National Union of Journalists (SNJ), in front of the police station of the twelfth district of Paris where custody of Gaspard Glanz took place.
