(on n'entend RIEN à ce que dit l'avocat général, désolée. Si on avait un ministre de la justice je ferais bien une requête pour faire changer les micros de la salle d'appel de Nîmes)

Me Babonneau, genius as usual:
"Vous vous considérez comme victime?
HD: Oui
- vous avez été violé?
- Oui
- Est-ce que vous connaissez le sens du mot déni? Vous ne pouvez pas admettre la réalité.
- Non."

Procès Pelicot, jour 3
Le président, avant de diffuser les vidéos du viol de Gisèle P. par Dominique P. et Husamettin, demande à faire sortir les jeunes de la salle pour ces images "très avilissantes pour la gente féminine."
Murmures choqués dans la salle, qui n'en revient pas de ce choix de mots
valeriemanteau.bsky.social
Et avec quelques précautions d'usage le président choisit de commencer la journée par la diffusion des vidéos. Il y en a une dizaine, très brèves, tous types de pénétrations. L'accusé regarde, GIsèle est plongée la lecture d'un document papier...

Cet après-midi à Nîmes s’ouvre le procès en appel des viols de Mazan, avec un seul accusé, Hüsamettin Dogan et un complice, Dominique Pelicot, devant un jury populaire de 9 personnes tirées au sort. Ça va être passionnant; j’essaierai d’en rendre compte en direct par ici #staytuned

One of Gisèle Pelicot's rapists is appealing his guilty verdict next week. This time around, he'll face a jury of his peers.
Editors looking to commission a story: please reach out! I covered the Pelicot trial last year, and just got accreditation for the retrial

As Trump pays us a visit, @diane2v.bsky.social writes for @prospectmagazine.co.uk about the central cruelty of Epstein's birthday book, a "catalogue of innuendo from the world’s most powerful men, immortalised in leather, as if misogyny were a collectible" www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/united...

When Epstein’s birthday book was revealed, people could only talk about the men who contributed to it. But the book was filled with women, and with girls. What about them?

Epstein survivors demanded a client list. Instead, these empowered women got a scrapbook filled with pictures of the naked bodies of the trafficked girls they used to be.
My latest, for @prospectmagazine.co.uk, on the central cruelty of the “birthday book.”

Hi Ziya!
I'm a Paris-based French freelance journalist. I mostly write for American and British magazines.
I'm also currently working on a book centred around a trans French Resistance heroine!
I'd love to keep in touch and work together in the fall :) dianedevignemont.com

Georges Abdallah just landed in Beirut after 40 years in French prisons. In my latest for @newlinesmag.bsky.social, I report on what the freedom and continued incarceration of the “public enemy #1” of the 1980s have meant for a deeply divided France.
