As we all already know, Le Pen previously condemned ISIS by posting three of their most well-known atrocities, with the caption "Daesh is THIS!" in her tweet.

Now, she had her E.U Parliamental Immunity revoked as requested by the French judiciary, and is facing up to 3 years in prison for alledgely violating a French law that prohibits the circulation of "violent messages that incite terrorism or pornography or seriously harm human dignity, and that can be viewed by a minor. The crime is punishable by up to three years in prison and a fine of €75,000".

As requested by the French judiciary, EU lawmakers vote to lift Marine Le Pen's immunity over tweets on ISIS atrocities

European Union lawmakers "overwhelmingly" voted on Tuesday to lift the EU parliamentary immunity of French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen for tweeting pictures of Islamic State violence.

Le Pen, a member of the European parliament, is under investigation in France for posting three graphic images of IS executions on Twitter in 2015, including the beheading of the United States journalist James Foley.

Responding to a request from the French judiciary, the EU lawmakers in the legal affairs committee voted to lift her immunity, EU officials said. The committee's decision will have to be backed by the whole parliament in a second vote, possibly this week.

Le Pen's immunity shields her from prosecution; lifting it would permit legal action against her. The offence being considered is "publishing violent messages that incite terrorism," which under certain circumstances can carry a penalty of three years in prison and a fine of 75,000 euros ($79,650).

MEPs "overwhelmingly voted to lift Le Pen's immunity," said eurosceptic 5 Star Movement lawmaker Laura Ferrara. A Parliament official said 18 lawmakers voted in favour of removing Le Pen's immunity and three voted against.

Le Pen could not immediately be reached for comment.

"Showing and naming the horror of Islamism allow us to fight against it," Florian Philippot, the vice president of Le Pen's far-right National Front party, told Reuters.

My opinion:

 

[Pwent]

Trump, Farage and Le Pen are the triangle of salvation

 

[HomerThompson]

Fucking moronic. Hopefully, someone comes to their senses and stops any prosecution before it starts. Freedom of speech is critical to a functioning democracy and free society.

 

[IDL]

A lot of powerful people want to put her away, methinks.

 

[PHATV]

Political madness.

 

[lifelessheap]

Scumbag globalists. Showing what Muslim terrorists do is worse than than the actual crimes committed to them.


Don't forget that the French and the oligarchs made sure to censor and withhold the truth of the torture at the Bataclan during the massacre.

The terrorists gutted people, ripped out their eyes, cut off penises and put them in victims mouths and stabbed women in the vaginas.

All of this hidden and ignored as to not bring bad publicity to Muslims in Europe.

 

[Fawlty]

Trolling successful, Milo Le Peen literally has her free speech attacked by "liberal" international politics. Can't make this shit up. Fucking Europe, they're even crazier than Americans.

 

[Thunderflash500]

Lol at leftists in this thread finally waking the fuck up. I mean I know you goofs will keep watching fake news and looking up to silly Europeans but at least your brains are slightly beginning to register the left is full of shit. Tyrannical authoritarians, and not like how you think Trump is, actual authoritarians who believe you shouldn't have access to news and information.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

So she had immunity when she did it and they want to go after her retroactively? And Americans are supposed to give a shit when people say Europeans are laughing at us?

 

[Jin Akutsu]

EU is corrupt.

 

[The ScorpioN]

I hope this will push people to vote for her, because this is ridiculous.

 

[AviatorShades]

The EU needs to be destroyed at any cost. It is an overtly anti-European institution, a confederation of puppet states.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

So transparent. This will backfire.

 

[Lanx]

So, its just a fine? Gofundme

Fucking moronic. Hopefully, someone comes to their senses and stops any prosecution before it starts. Freedom of speech is critical to a functioning democracy and free society.

I said this when it was proven that pro-trump tweets are being censored on twitter, and that some of the positives responses of Trump's tweets get deleted, and users get banned for being pro trump (without breaking any rules). The liberal rebuttle is: "I thought Republicans wanted businesses to run however they want? I thought you wanted a true free market?" What do you think Homey?

If we give up our right to free speech, then we have lost the real war. We need to be able to exchange ideas and communicate in order to reach resolution. Le Pen is trying to MFGA, but the European Globalist Union will not let her.

 

[superpunch]

Seriously does that mean what she's doing is illegal for normal people to do? Their politicians and elite have more rights and freedom of speech than the citizenry? Omg that's third world stuff

So she had immunity when she did it and they want to go after her retroactively? And Americans are supposed to give a shit when people say Europeans are laughing at us?

 

[uppercutbus]

So transparent. This will backfire.

Pretty much, hilarious how they're going after absolutely anything whilst pretending there is no over-arching globalist agenda. "publishing violent images".

That's all over the net.

 

[Fawlty]

I hope this will push people to vote for her, because this is ridiculous.

And there's the sting in the tail. No.

 

[PolishHeadlock]

Lol the EU loves shooting itself in the foot.
