   French anti-immigration activists staged a protest at the Cannes Film   
   Festival, unfurling a banner saying “foreign rapists out”.   
      
   The two female demonstrators from Collectif Nemesis, a feminist identarian   
   group for young French and Swiss women, made their way onto the red carpet   
   on Friday as staff tried to cover up the message and tear down the banner.   
      
   Director Alice Cordier shared photos of the protest on X, and the group on   
   Sunday posted a video clip of the event on social media showing activists   
   with the same banner in front of the iconic Cannes road sign.   
      
   “Activists from the Collectif Nemesis group invited themselves to the   
   Cannes film festival demanding that rapists from other countries be   
   expelled from Europe,” Ms Cordier wrote.   
      
   “We are launching a #MeTooImmigration movement because our voices count   
   too!”   
      
   The group’s official X account wrote: “In this event where patriarchy and   
   VSS [sexual and gender-based violence] are so often denounced, we wanted to   
   call out the over-representation of foreigners in violence against women.”   
      
   It went on to list four demands – the explusion of foreign rapists, the   
   application of the obligation to leave France, the use of ethnic crime   
   statistics, and that the state protect women from the “misogyny specific to   
   certain immigrant cultures”.   
      
   The demonstration came just two weeks after two activists held a banner   
   with the same slogan but in French, in Dole, eastern France.   
      
   A short video of the scene shows a man, later identified as a French   
   Communist Party activist, violently tear down the banner.   
      
   In April one of the same activists, Yona Faedda, 19, was arrested in   
   Besançon for a similar protest, and detained for 10 hours before being   
   released. Her home was also raided and computer equipment seized.   
      
   Signs held at that demonstration read “foreign rapists out” “free us from   
   immigration” and “46 women could have been spared if the OQTF [obligation   
   to leave France] had been applied in 2023”.   
      
   A Collectif Nemesis spokesperson said at the time: “What justified such   
   procedures? Our activists are treated as potential terrorists when their   
   only wrong was to demand the application of the law.”   
      
   They also pointed out that the town’s mayor had pushed for Afghan refugees   
   to be resettled there, and that one had gone on to rape a young woman.   
      
   The Cannes protest received an overwhelmingly positive reaction on X, with   
   Ms Cordier’s posts attracting hundreds of comments.   
      
   But the corporate media, both in France and abroad, is yet to write a   
   single article on the topic, although plenty of coverage has been given to   
   Cate Blanchett’s dress in Palestinian colours, a nude pro-Ukraine   
   protester, and other French feminist activists demonstrating about domestic   
   violence.   
      
   Police data released in April shows that 77% of the solved rape cases in   
   Paris in 2023 were committed by non-citizens, out of a foreign-born   
   population of 20.3%.   
      
   Noticer News contacted Ms Cordier for comment.
