Description

"The trial of the forty-four communist deputies opened in Paris on March 20, 1940, and ended on April 3, 1940. This court-martial of elected spokesmen of the French people, representatives of the largest political party in France, was held behind closed doors--the first time in over a century that political defendants were denied a public trial. In the prisoners' dock they were deprived of even such necessities as paper and pencils with which to take notes in preparation of their defense. Total sentences of 207 years were meted out to the communist deputies, with forfeiture of civil and political rights, and heavy fines."--Page [24].
