Vincent Reynouard, 53, was arrested in Anstruther, Fife, in a joint operation involving Scottish and French authorities
Nazi sympathisers are using the Scottish Prison Service to fund the lifestyle of a notorious French Holocaust denier.
Since his arrest, the hashtags #LibertePourReynouard and #JeSuisVincent have appeared on Twitter attempting to encourage others to write letters addressed to his Edinburgh jail cell and fundraise. One tweet lists the address of HMP Edinburgh, where Reynouard is being held, alongside his cell number. The details have also been included in an article titled "All about Vincent Reynouard!" by French far-right website Jeune Nation, named after a French nationalist and neo-fascist far-right movement founded in 1949. Reynouard was convicted under anti-Nazi laws across the Channel, where he was given a four-month jail term in November 2020 and a further six months in January 2021.
He described his "very simple life in a small room creating videos, cycling, reading and meditating" while eating "the same food every day " financed entirely by donations.
