French Regions Chiefs plan Book on main Cartoons after Teacher Murder by Islamist Coward Terrorist
*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- A Book on the Most Important Cartoons, Religious and Political, published in France, will be prepared by the Presidents of Regions, to be Distributed to all Lyceum Students, after the Cold-Blood, Atrocious Murder of Teacher Samuel Paty, by a Foreign Islamist Terrorist from the Caucasus, Cowardly Targeting Defenseless Civilian People.
- "The Fact that, Since a Long Time ago, Existent Together Cartoons concerning All Religions, and Political Cartoons, is a Crystal-Clear Proof of the Secular caracter of our Republic", stressed the Chairman of French Regions' Association, Experienced former Minister and MEP, Renaud Muselier, at the Annual Congress of the Organisation, where participated Also the Prime Minister Castex, European Central Bank CEO Lagarde, Senate's President Larcher, EU Affairs Minister Beaune, etc, while "Eurofora" got a Press Invitation for the relevant Video-Conference.
In consequence, the controversial so-called "Moameth Cartoons" of "Charlie Hebdo" Review, whose Journalists were Notoriously Massacrated on January 2015, at the 1st Big Islamist Terrorism Coward Attack against Civilians, that is Currently Judged at a Trial in Paris, with the allegedly Most Important Survivant coming from Turkey, (as Even the probable Provider of Arms, via Belgium, etc), would be normaly Included in that Book for Lyceums, which are of the Competence of Regions.
Due to be Drafted by "a Team of Historians", and "in Association with the Education Ministry, that School-Book would Situate "the Right to Cartoons in the Context of the Political History of France", in order to "Defend the Values of the Republic, and the Fundamental Right of Each Citizen to live in Peace and Freedom", stressed Muselier.
- In Fact, "Cartoons are a Fundametal Component of the Freedom of Expression", and "the Offense of Blaspheme does Not Exist, since, when it comes to Humour, our Law Protects Exces and Parody", while, also, "the School plays a Fundamental Role as Cement of the Republic", the French Regions' 2020 Congress underlined in an Official Declaration.
=> Therefore, "We'll Never let Anyone to Intimidate, in this Fundamental Task", "those who Work Everyday and with Passion, in the Difficult Job to Help Our Children Advance towards the Age of Adults according to the Values of our Republic", and "we aknowledge our Respect", "Proud for the Role they play in the Cohesion of our Nation", Vowed, Unanimously, All the 18 Presidents of French Regions, Uniting Together Top Repesentatives from Various Political Horizons.
Indeed, even if "Law, Justice and Order are more than ever Necessary in order to Fight Relentlessly against Intolerable Drifts towards Falling Apart", nevertheless, "Above all, it's Up to the Consciences to ensure that Obscurantist Deliriums woN't find, no more, any easy pray : That's", precisely, "the Role that the Nation has EnTrusted to Teachers, who animate the School of the Republic", they stressed.
- "But, 5 Years After the "Charlie Hebdo"'s Terrorist Attacks (2015-2020), the Fact that the Author of such a Cowardly and Barbarious Crime isn't Aged but Only 18 Years Old, says a lot about the Road that has to be Crossed"... In Particular, "it shows how Fundamental becomes the Mission of the School of the Republic, every day Harder, in a World whose Convulsions Blur the Democratic Foundations", they Warned.
=> "Every Day, Relentesly, the School of the Republic instils to our Children the Base of Our Republican Ideal". It "Teaches our Children that the Rule of Law guarantees a Balance between Individuals living in Society, and ensures Civic Peace". But "Also... that the Republic is Secular : The State does Not exert any Religious Power, and Churches don't exert any Political Power. Thus, the Republican School Fights against Fanatisms, against Obscurantism, against Corruption of any form of Religion. It Builds Emancipated Citizens who have to be Able to Judge about Everything in their Free Consciousness". Because the Republican School's Fundamental Role is to Make our Children Free Citizens : Liberty is a Right, But the Schoom Teaches them that this is Also a Duty : ... to Respect the Freedom of Others, ...the Fundamental Liberties, including the Freedom of Thought and Press Freedom", they pointed out.
>>> "Because what was Targetted" by that Horrible Terrorist Murder of a Teacher by a Coward, "is a Double Symbol : Freedom of Expression, from one side, and the School of the Republic, from another".
- That's why "the Vile and Coward Murder of Samuel Paty, Teacher in a College at Yvelines, on Friday, October 16, has Raised a Huge Emotion throughout Our Country", France. And "this Emotion stands at the Hight of the Republican Symbols that have been Hurt" (Comp. Supra), pinpointed the 2020's RoF Congress' Official Declaration from the outset.

They voted to "freeze" UK Government's draft to put People in jail for 42 Days on "anti-terrorist" suspicion without charge, or they abstained. Don't they look suspect ?
-------------------------
CoE's debate on UK controversy stirs PanEuropean check of anti-terror suspects' imprisonment
Former Leftists of the Sixties would boil in hot water if they heard PACE's debate on the controversial 42 days detention without charge, currently drafted by the British Government :
A "Socialist" Government, a Socialist PACE Rapporteur and a Socialist Chair of PACE's Legal Committee, opposed a .. "Conservative" amendment (supported by .. Liberals, Democrats, etc), to freeze the measure, in order to protect Citizens' Freedom, by "waiting" until CoE's Venice Committee checks its conformity with Human Rights' principles.
"Left"'s support to Conservative-Lib.Dem's criticism, wasn't enough to obtain a majority, nor to make things as they were back in the good old days, when "Left" and "Right" had a clear meaning, as "liberty" and "restrictions"...
Conservatives and most Democrats were joined by the Left in voting for the "freeze", as well as Liberal Paul Rowen, while Socialist MEP Ivan Popescu, an experienced MEP from Ukraine (PACE Member since 1996-2008) abstained. But most Socialists, added to a few Liberals and EPP's Right, voted against.
Fortunately, someone inside PACE had the wise idea to shorten the Debate for less than 1 Hour, and put it on the Agenda only at the end of an exceptionally busy day, towards the end of the Evening, when most MEPs had already gone to taste wins and foods at various Receptions all around Strasbourg's "European" area : As a result, not even 42 MEPs weren't present..
Socialist Lord Tomlinson accused the leaders of the PanEuropean Assembly, in its highest body : the "Bureau", to "lack wisdom" by deciding to hold a Debate on an issue that neither the Socialist Chair of the Legal Committee, nor its Socialist "reluctant Rapporteur", did "not want to do", ...
Finally, everybody (critics and supporters alike) was happy to agree, in substance, that the controversial measure "may" gravely violate Human Rights, and therefore, PACE asked Legal Experts of Venice Commission to check UK Government''s plans.
But this might take more than .. 42 Days to do, since PACE's Rapporteur asked the Experts to enlarge their study in a PanEuropean comparison of all that is happening on "anti-terrorism" legislation in 47 CoE Member Countries, including Russia, Turkey and Azerbaidjan..
Bad lack : "The existing 28 days’ detention without charge in the UK is, in comparison with other CoE member countries, one of the most extreme : In Turkey, the period is 7,5 days, in France 6 days, in Russia 5 days, and in .. the U.S. and Canada just 2 and 1 days respectively", denounced Democrat MEP Ms WOLDSETH from Norway..
"Numerous respected human rights organisations, including Liberty and Human Rights Watch, have expressed serious concern" "The proposed legislation ...could easily lead to extensive abuses. ...Detention for 42 days means six weeks in which one is taken away from one’s family, friends, home and livelihood only to be let off without being charged. That will destroy lives and isolate communities", she added.
- "3 years ago, the UK Government sought to increase the period of pre-charge detention from 14 days to 90 days. Not long before that, it had been only 7 days. There was a vigorous debate ...and a ...compromise was reached of 28 days. We have to ask whether there are proper safeguards in place to extend the period to 42 days. I suggest that there are fatal flaws", reminded British Conservative Clappison.
- "What sort of society holds someone in detention for 42 days and does not have to tell the person who is in prison why they are there, or explain the suspicions that arose and led to their detention? What sort of society believes that that is the way to treat its citizens? That is an appalling injustice, ...A 42-day detention period will not make the UK safer. Instead, it will be the first step to giving in to terrorists; it is saying that we are prepared to sacrifice our democratic rights and the principles for which we have stood for centuries", criticized British Liberal Michael Hanckock
"Comments made ...by Norwegian delegates are unfortunate", replied British Socialist MEP Ms.Curtis-Thomas, accusing them to "besmirch the reputation of our police force, which is one of the Best in the World", as she said, believing that "there are significant safeguards ...to ensure that individuals are not subjected to unlawful detention"
PACE "has serious doubts whether ...the draft legislation are in conformity with the ...case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. A lack of ..safeguards may lead to arbitrariness, resulting in breaches of ... liberty and ...right to a fair trial". PACE "is particularly concerned that: ..the judge ..may not be in a position to examine whether there exist reasonable grounds for suspecting that the arrested person has committed an offence;"; that "... representation by a lawyer may be inappropriately restricted or delayed;" that "information on the grounds for suspicion of a person ...may be unduly withheld.. ;" that this "may give rise to arrests without the intention to charge;", and; in general, that "prolonged detention without proper information on the grounds for arrest may constitute inhuman treatment", says Klaus De Vries' Report, adopted with 29 votes against zero.
Records don't say if it took him 42 Days to draft his Report, but, at least, he knew why...
