Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

It was in my lifetime that a race bar existed on the employment of black / brown folk on the buses in #Bristol. We have only got to where we are because some people spoke out, took risks, fought for us all. 🙏🏽 to #PaulStevenson #busBoycott

RIP Paul Stephenson, who has died aged 87. He organised the successful Bristol bus boycott of 1963, now recognised as an important moment in British social history - by winning the argument against racial discrimination in practice, and then in law too. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Gisèle #Pelicot sort de la salle d’audience, sous les applaudissements nourris du public, comme chaque jour.



"I'm told I have courage. It's not courage, it's will and determination to make this society evolve. Explains #Gisèle #Pelicot. Courage is going to save someone at sea. I have will and determination."

« On me dit que j’ai du courage. Ce n’est pas du courage c’est de la volonté et de la détermination pour faire évoluer cette société. Explique Gisèle Pelicot. Le courage c’est aller sauver quelqu’un en mer. Moi j’ai de la volonté et de la détermination. »



"I don't want them (women who have been raped) to be ashamed anymore," says #Gisèle #Pelicot. "It's their (the rapists) shame " #ShameMustChangeSides

« Je ne veux plus qu’elles aient honte, affirme Gisèle Pelicot. La honte c’est à eux de l’avoir » @RMCInfo



#Gisele #Pelicot quotes another accused who said that if he had to #rape he would have raped a young woman. "More beautiful" "When I chose to renounce this closed session I wanted all #women victims of rape to be able to say Mrs. Pelicot did it we can do it" 😢❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽

Gisele Pelicot cite un autre accusé qui avait dit que s’il avait dû violer il aurait violé une jeune femme. « Plus belle » « Quand j’ai choisi de renoncer à ce huis clos je voulais que toutes les femmes victimes de viols puissent dire Mme Pelicot l’a fait on pourra le faire »



#Gisele #Pelicot speaks of one of the menwho came to #rape her. She says I was like his grandmother ( by age) “ Iam totally destroyed. How am I going to rebuild myself?”

Gisèle Pelicot évoque maintenant un des accusés dont la mère de 54 ans est venu témoigner « ce monsieur dont je ne me rappelle pas le nom est donc venu violer sa grand mère. (Au regard de leur écart d’âge). Moi je suis totalement détruite. Comment je vais me reconstruire? »



"I don't understand how he could have gotten to this point. And I'm going to tell him: I've always tried to pull you up, towards the light. You chose the depths of the human soul. #Gisele #Pelicot adds: It's you who chose." #rape #Mazan

« Je ne comprends pas comment il a pu en arriver là. Et je vais lui dire : moi, j'ai toujours essayé de te tirer vers le haut, vers la lumière. Toi, tu as choisi les bas-fonds de l'âme humaine. Gisele Pelicot ajoute: C'est toi qui a choisi » @RMCInfo



#Gisele : we had a long married life, children and grandchildren, friends together; years when he took care of me through ill health. But even with four years to prepare for this trial she doesn’t have an answer as to why he did this to her. #rape #Mazan

"Nos amis l'appréciaient. On a partagé des vacances, les anniversaires, les Noël... Tout ça pour moi, c'était le bonheur. Bien sûr, aujourd'hui, je me suis préparée pendant quatre ans à ce procès. Mais je n'ai toujours pas compris pourquoi", poursuit-elle.



I have nothing to reproach myself for Says #Gisele #Pelicot How right she is. ❣️ #Mazan

"Quand j'ai pris la décision de renoncer à ce huis clos, j'ai pris conscience que je n'avais pas à avoir honte. Je n'avais rien à me reprocher", poursuit-elle.



Day 35 of the #Pelicot trial: a child protection worker defends one of the accused against allegations of #Rape If he had known he wouldn’t have done it, she says. Extraordinary how the men perceive a drugged, immobile, sometimes snoring woman as a willing participant #Mazan

« pour moi Patrice il n’est pas mêlé à cette histoire de viol » assure cette amie qui se prévaut de son expérience d’éducatrice en protection de l’enfance confrontée aux viols au question du consentement pour dédouaner son ami dans le box.



A man, sexually assaulted a nine year old girl. He kidnapped her, drugged her, abused her. Thinking of the girl and her parents 💔❣️ #drugs #SexualAssault #childAbuse #childSexualAbuse Man ‘drugged and assaulted girl, 9, he kidnapped outside Harrods’ thetimes.com/article/1e6548…


"If I had known what I was going to endure (in prison), I would not have done this," Dominique #Pelicot declared…sobbing. Ok that #Gisele had to ‘endure’ all the #rape s for so many years though 😡 #Mazan

"Si j'avais su ce que j'allais endurer (en prison), je n'aurai pas fait ça", déclare sanglotant brièvement Dominique Pelicot. "A partir du moment où le risque était partagé, ils risquaient autant que moi", répond-il à l'avocat des parties civiles.
