French police raid home of anti-Zionist comedian
French police have launched a raid on the home of anti-Zionist comedian, Dieudonné M'bala M'bala, as well as his offices, seizing his personal documents and other belongings. ● The French government accuses the controversial comedian of what it describes as promotion of anti-Semitism, and it is mounting pressure against him through judicial measures. The government has already banned M’bala M’bala’s public gatherings and the raids on Tuesday were sanctioned as, what the government claims, part of a broader investigation into suspected fraud by Dieudonné. He has been also convicted for a series of hate speeches, for which authorities are now seeking to compel Dieudonné to pay tens of thousands of euros in outstanding fines. They have accused him of suspected money-laundering and misuse of corporate assets.

But a tax case? If a government uses tax laws, or withholds advertising, or carries out similar measures in response to criticism, it does not generate the same level of condemnation.”
