法国巴黎市民让-雅克·勒布要求撤销判定其“侮辱公职人员”罪名的案件定于7月27日开庭审理。勒布认为,法律将侮辱公职人员列为“犯罪”是对平民的歧视,可能导致权力的滥用。勒布当年曾为此致信时任内政部长的现总统尼古拉·萨科齐,并将相关信件出版发行。法国媒体评论说,这是法国历史上“第一次有被告怀揣要求撤销对其裁定的书籍上法庭讨清白”。 Paris, France, Jean-Jacques Loeb pleaded guilty to canceling the case of “humiliating public officials” for trial on July 27. Loeb argues that the law criminalizes insulting public officials as “crimes” that discriminate against civilians and may lead to the abuse of power. In the same year, Loeb sent a letter to Nicolas Sarkozy, the then President of the Interior, and published the related letters. The French media commented that this is the first time in French history that the defendants carried the court’s request for the revocation of the court’s ruling on the verdict.
