France wants Papon in prison
As Papon enjoyed his first full day of freedom, Jewish groups and other critics planned protests at the appeal court’s decision to free 92-year-old Papon on health grounds.
Justice Minister Dominique Perben said he has ordered a study to see whether the decision to free Papon can be reversed. He suggested the government might try to argue that freeing Papon was too traumatic for French society.
