France's Human Rights League (LDH) and the CGT union announced on Saturday that they were bringing a civil case against Canal+ over allegations of discrimination relating to recent comments made by the company's CEO Maxime Saada about an open letter penned by the "Zapper Bolloré" collective.
The letter, published earlier this month in Libération, expressed concern about what it called businessman Vincent Bolloré’s “tentacular and ideological” grip over the French film industry.
