As the former president is set to be incarcerated this Tuesday, October 21st at the Santé penitentiary center, his sons Jean, Pierre, and Louis Sarkozy are calling for a gathering in Paris on social media. But what should the life of the former head of state look like behind bars?
After Nicolas Sarkozy’s conviction to five years in prison for criminal association in the Libyan case, his sons are organizing a demonstration in support of their father this Tuesday morning in Paris, the day of his incarceration at the Santé prison. «Let’s be many to come express our support for Nicolas Sarkozy on October 21 at 8:30 am«, at «the corner of Rue Pierre-Guérin and Rue de la Source«, in the 16th arrondissement, announced on X Louis Sarkozy.
The location of the demonstration is near Villa Montmorency, where the former president lived with his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.
«If you want to come on Tuesday, come out of love. Nothing else, please«, writes Pierre Sarkozy on Instagram. Jean Sarkozy also shared the call on the same social network, thanking the supporters of the former head of state and calling to «be strong«.
Nicolas Sarkozy is set to become the first former president in the history of the Republic and former head of state of the European Union to be incarcerated. He is expected to be placed in one of the fifteen 9m² cells in the isolation ward of the Santé prison for security reasons, according to prison guards speaking to AFP. The isolation regime includes one daily walk alone in a courtyard of a few square meters. He will have access to one of the three small sports rooms in the prison area or to the room that serves as a library, according to a set schedule. To go to the visiting room or to see the doctors, he will be accompanied by at least one guard.
The former head of state was found guilty of allowing Brice Hortefeux and Claude Guéant, his two closest collaborators at the Ministry of the Interior, to hold talks in Tripoli for secret funding of his successful 2007 presidential campaign by the regime of Muammar Gaddafi. The issue revolves around meetings organized in 2005 with Abdallah Senoussi, the Libyan dictator’s brother-in-law, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in France for the UTA DC-10 bombing in 1989, which killed 170 people.
The judges issued a warrant for his imprisonment on September 25 due to the «exceptional seriousness of the facts», granting a period before his incarceration to allow him to organize himself. An appeal trial is expected to take place before the summer. His lawyers are also expected to file a request for release as soon as he is placed in custody at Santé.
