Macron thanks Gisele Pelicotti for her courage in the mass rape trial

The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, has honored the figure of Gisele Pelicotti for the strength she has shown in the trial of mass rapes, initiated by her husband and committed by 50 other men.

Describing her as a pioneer for women, he said that "her dignity and courage have inspired France and the world".

Her ex-husband, Dominique Pelicot, 72, has been jailed for 20 years for rape after admitting drugging Gisele for almost a decade and recruiting other men to rape her while she was comatose in bed.

The other 50 men were given lesser sentences.

Gisele Pelicot has said that the judicial process has been difficult, but she believes in a future when men and women can live "in harmony and with understanding".

She decided that the process should not be anonymous and made the case public, which has received global attention.

Judges in the south of France said the 51 men who were charged, aged between 27 and 74, were guilty and sentenced, but Gisele's lawyer said on Friday that "no verdict will turn her life around". that has been destroyed".

Her three children have said they are disappointed with some of the sentences handed down to some men, which range from three to 15 years.

According to reports, 41 men were immediately sent to prison.

Dominique Pelicoti's lawyer has said that he is "shocked" by the sentence against his client and will decide in the coming days whether to appeal it.

Activists against sexual violence have closely followed the court process, hoping that it will promote reforms in French laws and change the culture of the debate about rape and sexual violence that also includes drug abuse./ REL
