Will Logan Nisin spend the next ten years of his life in prison?

In any case, this is the sentence required by the prosecution on Tuesday against the young man of 25, former head of the ultra-right group OAS and prosecuted in Paris for plans to attack mosques or political figures.

He is an "absolute monarch in his kingdom of hatred," said the prosecutor.

“His hatred is total, unlimited, his determination is unwavering.

He creates, coordinates, pilots, plans, pushes others to action, motivates the troops ”.

In the box of the defendants, Logan Nisin, who assured during the debates that he would never have taken action, listened to the requisitions while keeping his face in his hands, blinking his eyes several times, seized with tics.

"The threat brought by the ultra-right movement is a reality"

Five other men, all former members of the OAS now aged 23 to 33, are appearing in the case. Against them, the prosecutor requested sentences of five years in prison, partially with a suspended sentence, to eight years in prison. "Your decision will have a significant impact", reminded the prosecutor to the president of the court, "because this is the first ultra-right case tried on the wave of cases which has been opened in recent years".

Since 2017, six investigations linked to plans for ultra-right attacks, including the one targeting the OAS, have been opened by the anti-terrorism prosecution.

"The exceptional rise in power of the threat brought by the ultra-right movement is a tangible concrete reality which is imperative to all of us," insisted the prosecutor, affirming that Islamist terrorism and that of the ultra-right stemmed from " twin ideologies, children of a totalitarian thought ”which“ self-nourished ”.

"A ball of hypocrisy"

Organizational chart, swearing-in ceremony, corporate extortion plans to purchase weapons, conversations to manufacture explosives, scheduled punitive expeditions, shooting sessions: the list of the prosecution retained by the prosecution after the investigation is long.

At the stand, the defendants all assured that their presumed intentions were only words.

"Hateful, disgusting remarks", described Thomas A., 23, the former "local action commander" and number 2 of the small group, but "nothing concrete".

"We were in the world of care bears, kids", even blurted out during his questioning Romain P., 33, former "commander of the discreet action".

"A ball of hypocrisy," summed up the prosecutor on Tuesday.
