A French activist for Black rights went on trial in Paris on Monday for defacing a statue of a historical figure from France’s colonial, slave-trading past, calling the protest a political act to denounce deep-seated racism.
A French activist for black rights has gone on trial in Paris for defacing a statue of a historical figure from France’s colonial, slave-trading past, calling the protest a political act to denounce deep-seated racism.
Franco Lollia is on trial for spraying “state Negrophobia” in red paint on the pedestal of a statue outside parliament in Paris last June.
The statue honours Jean-Baptiste Colbert, a 17th-century royal minister who wrote rules governing slaves in France’s overseas colonies.
Lollia told the court that, in his view, Colbert committed crimes against humanity.
