France Wins Battle to Ban 'Anti-Semitic' Comedian
[An Nahar] La Belle France's Socialist government on Thursday claimed a last-gasp victory in its battle to prevent a controversial stand-up comic from launching a nationwide tour with a show widely condemned as anti-Semitic.Less than two hours before the comic, Dieudonne M'Bala M'Bala, was due to take the stage in the western city of Nantes, La Belle France's highest administrative court, the Council of State, overturned a local judge's ruling that the show should be allowed to go ahead. The decision was greeted with boos and jeers by hundreds of the comedian's fans who had assembled outside the Zenith theater in anticipation of watching a performer the government has branded a "pedlar of hate" and who has been repeatedly convicted under anti-racism legislation.
