Overview

• Authorities delivered a prefectural ban on site at Lestrem’s Eolys base and stopped the show without detaining Dieudonné.
• The comedian relocated his performance from Dunkerque late Friday after the Nord prefecture issued an immediate ban.
• French prefectures cite Dieudonné’s multiple convictions for antisemitic and hateful remarks as justification for public order interventions.
• His production team alleges gendarmes threatened him on stage and plans to file complaints for abuse of authority and obstruction of expression and assembly.
• Spectators were notified of the venue only hours beforehand, highlighting the show’s mobile, secretive organization to evade bans.
