The French Senate adopted a bill in favor of the restoration of those convicted of homosexuality from 1942 to 1982

The French Senate today adopted a bill whose objective is to restore the approximately 50,000 people who were convicted of homosexuality in 1942, when France was under German occupation until 1982, when the Mitterrand government completely decriminalized it. “Homosexuality was not only not tolerated during these 40 years but it was also criminal. The French state must take on its responsibilities, “said Minister Ooror Berze. However, the majority of the members of the Senate did not adopt the proposal of the Left parties to provide financial compensation, proportional to the time of their imprisonment, to convicts for homosexuality. The French National Assembly was in favor of compensation. Source: RES
