Hate speech charges over Islam comments
In October 2015 Le Pen appeared on trial for hate-speech, having compared Muslims praying in the streets to the Nazi occupation' during a party rally in Lyon in 2010. She denies the charge, claiming she was merely 'expressing political ideas' and has accused the French government and justice minister Christiane Taubiraof of waging 'a real judicial persecution' of her and the Front National.[2]
