PARIS - Scores of film directors called on the French people yesterday to disobey tough French anti-immigration laws and challenged the authorities to bring them to trial for breaking them.
`We are guilty, every one of us, of putting up illegal foreign residents recently... We request being probed and put on trial," the 59 directors said in a statement published in Le Monde.
They were protesting at a law requiring French citizens to report the arrival and departure of foreigners staying at their home.
