A woman facing prison for daring to say on French TV that the main danger to women in France comes from black African and Arab immigrant men has been found guilty, but is receiving no jail time despite a fine of 1,000 euros ($1,100).
Anne-Thaïs du Tertre d’Escoeuffant, a 26-year-old who uses the pseudonym Thaïs d’Escufon on social media, is thanking the public for its worldwide support for her as WorldNetDaily reported her plight last week.
“Before your incredible mobilization, the judicial system had set out to crush me,” she said in a new video. “This time, I think the goal was to finish the job by sending me to prison.”
Because of the strong financial support, d’Escoeuffant has decided to appeal the conviction.
“So yes it is a risk. I could receive a harsher sentence,” she admitted, adding there’s no longer a reason for cowardice.
Dear friends, the verdict has been handed down.
I have been found guilty, but thanks to you and your support, I have avoided a prison sentence, and I can’t thank you enough for that.
I’ll tell you what I think about it and what I plan to do. pic.twitter.com/dDXeyxPay4

On Sunday, d’Escoeuffant publicized two new challenges.
“Listen to this latest absurdity,” she began. “Last November, Jean Eudes Gannat, who is a father and identity activist and a local councilman, filmed a video in front of the supermarket in his small town.”
She then played a clip of Gannat walking in front of a Leclerc supermarket in Segré, France, as he comments on a group of Afghan migrants hanging out in front of the store.
Gannat states on camera: “You see I’m in the town I grew up in, about 10,000 people, I think. And for a few years now, every evening it’s been like this. There you have it.
“We kind of wonder what’s going on. But basically, you’ve got Afghan refugees hanging around. Always at Leclerc buying food and doing nothing. Welcome to the French countryside.”
His video included a superimposed message stating: “Sick of with living with the Taliban’s cousins in the middle of our countryside.”
“The next day,” d’Escoeuffant explains, “he was held in police custody for 48 hours and subjected to completely crazy interrogations where they asked him where his children went to school, what his relationship with them was like, how he raised them. Stasi-style basically.
“In the end, he was recently prosecuted and sentenced to a three-month suspended prison sentence and a fine of 4,650 euros ($5,600) including 600 euros ($700) in compensation for each Afghan migrant he filmed.
“Native French people who speak out against non-European immigration and its damages are subjected to a veritable ritual of humiliation. They are forced to submit and love their invaders and their tormentors against their will. We identitarian activists are hunted down like criminals because we love our country. My friends, keep fighting and defend your freedom of speech tooth and nail, because if you lose it, you lose everything, your sovereignty, your identity.”
Thank you, @elonmusk, for bringing international attention to our identity-based struggles!
We have long suffered from censorship, but you have given our voice an unexpected reach. 💪🏻
Thank you also to the patriots around the world who support us.
We are no longer alone!! 🇫🇷 https://t.co/yplnNeqOc3

She provided a support link for Gannat here.
Gannat’s case got the attention of Eva Vlaardingerbroek, founder of the Save Europe Act, the first patriotic European Citizens’ Initiative.
“Yet another European patriot has been charged with ‘inciting racial hatred’ simply for showing the reality of mass immigration,” Vlaardingerbroek said.
“This is our reality. If you speak out against or even just show what the great replacement looks like, they throw you in jail. Incredible.”
Meanwhile, d’Escoeuffant’s second challenge is more personal to her.
“Five months ago, my Instagram account was banned for ‘dangerous organizations.’ That was my 15th account,” she explained. “I can no longer create a new one that’s lasts more than a few months. My name and face are literally blacklisted.
“I filed an appeal, but it was denied. I sent a letter from my lawyer, but my requests to Meta have gone unanswered. I need your help to call them out on this unacceptable censorship. In France, it’s rampant more so than anywhere else in Europe.”
Guys, I’d like to ask for your help once again 🙏🏻
Censorship in France has gone crazy and I’ve been struggling with it since I started activism in 2018.
Now thanks to you I have a chance to be heard. 🇫🇷

In 2024, the United Nations estimated 9.2 million immigrants in France, representing 13.8% of the total population, making the country number two for foreign-born population in Europe behind Germany and tied with the United Kingdom.
The situation has become particularly bad in Britain, according to last week’s Rape Gang Inquiry Report, which “examined the systematic targeting of vulnerable girls, overwhelmingly White British, by predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs across towns and cities throughout the United Kingdom. The evidence put to the Inquiry confirms that this scandal constitutes one of the most horrendous failures in the history of the country.
“Organized networks of perpetrators built coordinated operations that transported victims between locations, supplied them with drugs and alcohol, recorded abuse for distribution and blackmail, and passed girls between multiple adult men.”
“The scale of the crimes committed is staggering. It has been previously established that, at the very least, 250,000 young white girls have been subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and lifelong trauma. The true number is probably higher.”
