Le Monde: Court orders closing of Tribe Ka website

Le juge Emmanuel Binoche a estimé que M. Seba a "d'évidence excédé les nécessaires limites de la liberté d'expression en stigmatisant les juifs présentés comme responsables de la traite des noirs, de telle manière qu'il puisse en résulter troubles et violences".

"En évoquant la nécessité d'+éradiquer cette mafia sioniste+, le fait que +la pieuvre sioniste détruit tout sur son passage en asphyxiant toute trace de dignité humaine+, le défendeur (Kemi Seba, ndlr), en reprenant la thèse imaginaire du complot, ne peut sérieusement pas contester qu'il entend bien stigmatiser un groupe de personnes en raison de leur appartenance à une confession, et aussi une race", ajoute la décision.

  Judge Emmanuel Binoche found that Mr. [Kemi] Seba [leader of Tribe Ka, a black extremist fringe group dissolved at the end of July] had "obviously gone beyond the necessary limits of the freedom of expression by stigmatising Jews as being responsible for black slavery, in a way that could result in disturbances and violence".

"By citing a necessity to 'eradicate this zionist mafia' and a notion that 'the zionist octopus is destroying everything in its path by smothering every trace of human dignity', the defendant (Kimi Seba, ed. note), by reiterating the fanciful thesis of such a plot, cannot seriously deny that he clearly means to stigmatise a group of people based on their religious affiliation, and also a race," the decision adds.
