Cédric Herrou, the farmer from the Roya valley who has helped many illegal migrants, is definitely relaxed.
The Court of Cassation rejected on Wednesday March 31 an appeal from the general prosecutor's office of Lyon and thus made final the release of the activist, prosecuted for having conveyed migrants from Italy and organized a reception camp in 2016 in the Alpes-Maritimes.
This decision marks the culmination of a long procedure punctuated by three trials and a referral to the Constitutional Council, which in 2018 had enshrined the "principle of fraternity".
