The European Court of Human Rights ruled that a conviction for incitement to racial hatred and discrimination against far-right French presidential candidate and polemicist Eric Zemmour was not a violation of his freedom of expression.
Zemmour, who won 7% in the first round of France's April election, had brought the case to challenge a 2018 decision by a French court on grounds of freedom of expression under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
