Tried in immediate appearance in Paris on June 1, 2022, the 30-year-old was sentenced in her absence to ten months in prison and a one-year ban on demonstrations. Despite this court decision, Hager A. was therefore spotted in full procession during the eighth demonstration against the pension reform in Paris, near the Place d’Italie.
