Farida C., 51, was sentenced for “
fingers of honor
” and “
violence which did not result in temporary incapacity for work
” against several persons in public authority. However, this conviction will not be entered in his criminal record, which therefore remains blank. She will have to pay 100 and 200 euros in damages to two police officers, civil parties in the case, for the moral damage suffered.
On the other hand, the caregiver was released from the heads of “violent resistance” and “outrages”.
An “
unexpected
”
decision
, commented his lawyer Arié Alimi.
Two months' suspended prison sentence was required during his trial on February 22, marked by the mobilization of dozens of support, both inside and outside the Paris court.
A gesture "not premeditated"
"
Justice recognizes our suffering, (...) heard our exasperation
", welcomed Farida C., "
very satisfied
" with this decision.
"
We must fight together to save the public service and not alone, it was not very effective
", she conceded, speaking of gestures "
which were not premeditated
".
"
But when you're angry, you don't think about what you're doing,
" she added, saying she "
was contaminated by police violence
" that day.
