Police arrested a former commander of the French Foreign Legion at a banned anti-migrant rally in Calais.
Gen Christian Piquemal, 75, was one of about 20 protesters in the French port taken into custody on Saturday after addressing supporters of Pegida, a far-right group based in Germany.
Piquemal was charged with “taking part in a gathering which did not disperse after warning”. Four other men were charged with carrying illegal weapons including a taser gun, knuckle dusters and a knife.
The five will appear in court on Monday and face up to a year in prison if convicted. Pegida, which is opposed to what it claims is the “Islamisation of the west” through immigration, called for several rallies around Europe this weekend, including in Birmingham.

This man is a former General in the French Foreign Legion, a decorated combat veteran, and he was thrown face-down in a filthy gutter by French police. The irony is almost laughable -- were the reality not so menacing.
That reality is France is undergoing a de facto invasion by an ethnic category, a segment of which already has demonstrated its potential for terrorist activity. The French people want this ethnic category excluded but their protest demonstrations are being suppressed by the French police -- much like the anti-Wall Street protesters were suppressed by the New York City police.
Who are these cops serving and protecting?
