Brigitte Bardot Guilty
Posted on 03. Jun, 2008 by alisse in Blog, Crime, Politics
Film legend Brigitte Bardot was convicted in Paris, France today for racial hatred and provoking discrimination because she wrote that Muslims are responsible for destroying France. A French anti-racism group, MRAP, filed a suit against Bardot for a letter she sent to Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy - who is now the president. She explained her distress due to Muslim Aid el-Kebir Bardot who celebrated by slaughtering and eating sheep.
Bardot is an animal rights activist and feels she should be able to voice her opinion but French anti-racism laws do not allow discrimination on religious/racial grounds. She was ordered to pay $23,325 fine to the Paris court and $1,555 in damages to MRAP. Bardot's lawyer said there is a possibility of appealing the case but Bardot has been convicted four times prior to this case for racial hatred.
Bardot will not be silenced in her defense of animal rights.
