Two "
Dalton
", named after the collective of Lyon rappers known for their provocations against the authorities, were sentenced Wednesday in Lyon to five months in prison and four suspended sentences, after mortar fire during a demonstration in Lyon on November 24. A first 18-year-old Dalton was sentenced to "
four months of simple suspension
", while a second, 23-year-old, was given "
five months firm but without continued detention
", told the AFP the lawyer of the first, Amandine Fabregue. "
The deliberation is therefore much lower than the requisitions, which is satisfactory
», She added.
The prosecution had required six months firm, with warrant of committal, against the accused aged 23 and six months suspended against the other 18 years.

The two men were arrested with a 17-year-old minor after a demonstration by the Antifa group in Lyon against the arrival of deputy RN Jordan Bardella in the popular district of Guillotière. He was the guest of a program hosted by Jean-Marc Morandini and broadcast live on the Cnews channel. The defendants were accused of having detonated a dozen fireworks mortars near the imposing cordon of police officers set up between MM. Bardella and Morandini and the demonstrators. The two "
Dalton
" were on the other hand released from the accusation of belonging to a "
group with a view to committing violence or degradation
", namely the nebulous collective of "Dalton".
A third “
Dalton
”, aged 17, was brought before a juvenile judge, as was another minor, also aged 17, arrested last Monday.
