JUSTICE/La “mise à l’écart” du leader indépendantiste savoisien Fabrice Dugerdil, incarcéré pour trois mois, relève “de motivations plus politiques que judiciaires”, selon un délégué de l’Organisation des nations et des peuples non représentés
Saint-Gervais-les-Bains (Du correspondant de l’Agence de presse indépendante de Savoie, APIS).
Le leader indépendantiste savoisien Fabrice Dugerdil, ministre de l’Intérieur du Gouvernement provisoire de l’État de Savoie (GPÉS), “a perdu une bonne douzaine de kilos” depuis qu’il suit une grève de la faim à la maison d’arrêt départementale de la Haute-Savoie à Bonneville, c’est-à-dire depuis qu’il y a été incarcéré pour trois mois le 28 janvier 2015. Sa femme, Valérie Dugerdil, autre ministre du GPÉS, l’a annoncé à la tribune de la réunion publique que le Gouvernement proposait samedi après-midi 21 février 2015 salle municipale Montjoie à Saint-Gervais-les-Bains.
S’exprimant lui aussi à cette tribune, Tomasso Nodari, délégué de l'”Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization” (“UNPO”, Organisation des nations et des peuples non représentés, à La Haye), dans laquelle le GPÉS siège depuis le 28 juin 2014, a soutenu que la “mise l’écart” de Fabrice Dugerdil, privé de la visite des siens depuis son emprisonnement fin janvier 2015, relève “de motivations plus politiques que judiciaires”.
L’incarcération du leader indépendantiste savoisien et le fait qu’il soit “cantonné à l’isolement”, deux mesures infligées “pour des motifs politiques”, a également affirmé à Saint-Gervais-les-Bains Reynald Lustremant, garde des Sceaux du GPÉS, sont “l’exemple type du procès politique”, avait auparavant déclaré le Breton Stéphane Domagala, de l’Association des nations de l’Hexagone (ANH), née du mouvement “Les Bonnets rouges”, qui revendique de “vivre, décider, travailler en Bretagne”. Dans une France qui “n’a que le nom du pays des droits de l’homme”, comme l’a fustigée l’indépendantiste savoisien Didier Erba, vice-président de l’association loi 1901 que préside le prisonnier (“Directions aux affaires savoisiennes”), la mise sous écrou de Fabrice Dugerdil traduit chez les gouvernants de l’Hexagone “une forte angoisse et une peur de ce qui est en train de se passer”, a estimé l’Alsacien Sébastien Gunther [en photo, au micro], du mouvement “Unser Land” (“Notre pays”).
Les mouvements “Gioventura Piemontèisa” (“Jeunesse piémontaise”) et “Piemonte Stato” (“État du Piémont”) ainsi que le Mouvement Franche-Comté, qui avaient dépêché des membres au forum indépendantiste de Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, y ont exprimé eux aussi un entier soutien à Fabrice Dugerdil.

Symbol of Civil Disobedience Fabrice Dugerdil Still Detained in French Prison in Bonneville
Two representatives of the UNPO Secretariat visited Savoy from 19 to 22 February 2015 on the occasion of a public meeting, which took place on Saturday 21 February in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains. During their visit, the representatives met with various members of the Provisional Government of the State of Savoy to acquire further information about the current situation of Mr Fabrice Dugerdil, the Savoy activist who is now serving a three month sentence in Bonneville Prison following an exercise of his right to freedom of expression and freedom of assembly.
Mr Dugerdil’s friends and colleagues are increasingly worried about his health and the poor conditions of his detention. Despite the importance of his Gandhian initiative, his wife had pleaded with him end to his thirst strike. However, he remains adamant about continuing his hunger strike, even though his medical condition is quickly deteriorating.
On 20 February 2015, during the visit of UNPO to the region, the prison staff informed Mr Dugerdil that he will be transferred from an isolated holding cell, which he should have left at the latest eight days after his admittance to the prison, almost a month ago. For Mr Dugerdil, this transfer will mean that he will be able to interact with other detainees, visit the prison library facilities and possibly obtain a reduction of his sentence of up to three weeks, if he demonstrates the will to reintegrate into society.
In addition, Mr Dugerdil’s wife, Ms Valérie Dugerdil, finally obtained official permission to see her husband in the prison meeting room, which is scheduled to take place today [25 February 2015]. Ms Dugerdil has been struggling to obtain the visitation permit due to persistent bureaucratic complications. Since his imprisonment, she has also been unable to obtain authorization by the prison staff to bring him any clothes or towels.
Mr Dugerdil was arrested on 28 January 2015 after participating in an unauthorized demonstration, which he was falsely accused of having organized. He was then sentenced to three months of imprisonment for refusing to pay a fine imposed on him for driving a car with a Savosian licence plate and the subsequent late penalty fees he had contracted for refusing to pay.
UNPO wholeheartedly supports Mr Dugerdil’s acts of civil disobedience and condemns the disproportionate sanction decided upon by the French authorities. The principle of nonviolence being one of the cornerstones of UNPO, the Provisional Government of the State of Savoy, and its related agency Direction aux Affaires Savoisiennes, as a Member of UNPO, have committed to resolving any differences through strictly nonviolent means.
