Case

Case number: n° 459704

Country

France

Case Description: The association "Coordination contre le racisme et l’islamophobie" (CRI) and its president sought the annulment of a decree dated October 20, 2021, which ordered the association's dissolution. The government based the dissolution on two legal grounds: provocation to violent acts (Art. 212-1 1°)and provocation to discrimination, hatred, or violence against persons based on their religion or origin (Art. 212-1 6°). The applicants alleged procedural irregularities and a violation of the freedom of association. The Council of State ruled that vehement public criticism of the police and judiciary by an association representative in 2016, as well as certain social media messages, did not reach the legal threshold for inciting violent acts. On the other hand, the Council confirmed the provocation to Hatred and Discrimination. Between 2019 and 2021, the CRI published a high volume of posts claiming that public authorities, legislation, and national institutions were systematically hostile to Muslims and used antisemitism to target them. These publications elicited numerous hateful, antisemitic, and insulting comments from third parties on the association’s social media accounts. Given the grave and recurrent nature of these actions and the association's intent to spread these theories to a wide audience, the dissolution was deemed necessary and proportionate to the risk of public order disturbances.Given the grave and recurrent nature of these actions and the association's intent to spread these theories to a wide audience, the dissolution was deemed necessary and proportionate to the risk of public order disturbances.
