The move taken by a judge in the Paris suburb of Nanterre comes after the French National Assembly\u2019s lifting of Le Pen’s immunity last November. European lawmakers had taken a similar decision back in March 2017 regarding the same issue.<\/p>\n
In December 2015, Le Pen tweeted three graphic photos of Daesh executions \u2013 among them the decapitated body of U.S. journalist James Foley — with a caption “Daesh is THIS!”, following a dispute with a journalist who had compared her party to the terrorist group.<\/p>\n
Later, a French prosecutor opened a probe and requested the revocation of Le Pen’s EU and French parliamentary immunity.<\/p>\n
Under French law, one can face up to five years in prison and receive a \u20ac75,000 ($79,000) fine if convicted on charges of distributing violent images.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
