French presidential candidate fined €10,000 for Hate Speech

Presidential hopeful in France Eric Zemmour has been sentenced to pay fine amounting to €10,000 for making Hate Speech.

Zemmour had said on CNews TV program in September 2020 that unaccompanied migrant children are thieves, murderers and rapists. "They have nothing to do here, they are thieves, they are murderers, they are rapists, that's all they are, they must be sent back and they must not even come." He had said.

Zemmour has been already prosecuted over 15 times and convicted twice in the past decade on racial abuse and incitement to hatred.
