Thousands of French Patriots Rally in Lyon After Antifa Killing of Conservative Student
Thousands gathered in Lyon on Saturday to demand justice following the murder of 23-year-old conservative Catholic student Quentin Deranque.
Deranque suffered a fatal brain injury after being beaten by Antifa thugs as he was providing informal protection for a protest of the identitarian-feminist Collectif Némésis.
Here is video of the young man in Lyon, France who was beaten to death by Antifa. Quentin, who is now brain dead, was volunteering as security for a conservative women’s group when he was jumped by Antifa, allegedly the Jeune Garde group. https://t.co/yLfycJ0Wxb

Seven individuals have been charged in connection with the attack, which took place on the margins of a protest targeting far-left MEP Rima Hassan at Sciences Po Lyon.
According to local media, several of the suspects are believed to have ties to the Young Guard Antifa group established in Lyon in 2018 by La France Insoumise (LFI) lawmaker Raphaël Arnault.
Among those charged include Jacques-Elie Favrot, a parliamentary assistant to Arnault, and Adrian Besseyre, who previously worked for the MP.
