The detention of Antonin Bernanos, figure of the anti-fascist movement and imprisoned since mid-April for a fight with the ultra-right, was prolonged Monday of four months by decision of the Court of Appeal of Paris, one learned from judicial source.
Incarcerated since April 18
The investigating chamber, seized of an appeal of the prosecutor's office, thus reversed the decision taken on August 2 by a judge of freedoms and detention who ordered his release under judicial control and under electronic bracelet beyond August 17 .
Antonin Bernanos, in detention in the prison of the Health, is incarcerated since his indictment, on April 18, for "violence in meeting" and "robbery with violence resulting in a disability greater than eight days" during a fight - to which he denies having participated - between his group and national militants - crossed identity in the night of April 15 to 16, near the cathedral Notre-Dame then on fire.
His relatives denounce a "state repression"
This sociology student had, a few days earlier, completed serving on parole, his five-year sentence (including two suspended sentence) for his participation in the resounding attack of a police car in May 2016, quai de Valmy in Paris.
At the trial in October 2017, this great-grandson of the writer Georges Bernanos had become the media face of the anti-fascist movement. His conviction for violence in this case places him in a situation of legal recidivism. He was also sentenced in 2013 for "aggravated violence". His family and the group "Libres-Les" denounce a "state repression" and conditions of detention that would violate his rights, including visits and mail.
