    It is understood he was charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment, rape and making death threats.

    I dunno if France has hate crime laws, but abducting and raping someone just because they’re Jewish might qualify. If so, that’s probably more potential charges.

    Sounds like in France, it’s not a crime itself, but triggers more-severe sentences.

    France

    In 2003, France enacted penalty-enhancement hate crime laws for crimes motivated by bias against the victim’s actual or perceived ethnicity, nation, race, religion, or sexual orientation. The penalties for murder were raised from 30 years (for non-hate crimes) to life imprisonment (for hate crimes), and the penalties for violent attacks leading to permanent disability were raised from 10 years (for non-hate crimes) to 15 years (for hate crimes).

    Jeez. No matter how Pro-Palestinian you are - keep your hands off people. This person should be send to prison without any possibility to be released.
