A special antiterrorist court in Paris has acquitted three members of the extremist Action Directe Group of attempted murder after the alleged victim testified they were innocent. The three have been on hunger strike since the beginning of December in protest of being held in solitary confinement.  One of them, Nathalie Menigon, was wheeled in and out of the court in a wheel chair for the two-day trial. They have already been sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment for criminal conspiracy and are to face other charges.
