| [valeursactuelles] In Agen, a file S charged for assault was released. Justice. Kamal Belbakkal was indicted for voluntary violence and detained since July. The criminal record of Kamal Belbakkal, 40, was thick. And yet, he left the prison in Agen, Lot-et-Garonne, Friday, reports La Dépêche . Last June, he was suspected of attacking a farmer in Laroque-Timbaut. On that Sunday, while Yves Boussuge was harvesting his field, Kamal Belbakkal stabbed him with "Allahu Akbar". His client charged with willful violence, his lawyer Laurent Bruneau had announced that he intended to claim a release a few weeks ago. An argument that worked since Kamal Belbakkal left the prison of Agen this Friday around 22 hours. No confrontation between the victim and the attacker had yet occurred. Kamal Belbakkal, however, remains subject to strict judicial control: he can not leave the city and must appear three times a day at the police station in Agen. A decision that can surprise when you know his judicial precedents. In 2016, the individual had been stuck because he was suspected of defending ISIS's theses and promoting them. Sentenced to two years in prison for the detention and dissemination of thirty videos of scenes of beheadings, homicides or scenes of barbarity, he was released by the court of appeal of the court of Agen on January 4 latest. A decision that served as an argument to his lawyer who refuses, moreover, to give the motivations that justified this release. It does however induce outrage. "I do not want to overbid, but how to make this freedom to victims?", Surprised the mayor of Laroque-Timbaut, Lionel Falcoz. "He was already under judicial control when he assaulted his victim, so let me doubt the effectiveness of this measure," worries the city. "That he gets the release because the broadcast has not been proven, still passes but he was under arrest warrant for the violence, even though he has challenged them from the beginning. I am ass on the floor. Soon, we will explain that Yves (Boussuge, the victim, Ed) has injured himself." |

| #2 motivations that justified this release "Don't want him radicalizing other prisoners." "Prison's not safe for guards." "He has mental health issues." "He kills strangers, and other prisoners." |
