A self-confessed anti-Zionist activist has been sentenced to six-years imprisonment by a Paris court for complicity in bomb attacks against firms linked with Israel. Frederic Oriach, 29, a militant of the anti-Zionist Communist Revolutionary Group, denied having participated in the attacks but the prosecutions based its dossier on the fact that he had written anti-Zionist leaflets and that a list of 38 firms listed had been the target of bomb attacks. Some 50 friends of the defendant threw rotten eggs in court when the judge delivered the sentence. They also shouted pro-Palestinian slogans.
