defamation Explanation: The French term appears to be "diffamation", which in English should become "defamation", I suppose. La réaction du gouvernement ne se fait pas attendre, en assignant Émile Zola pour diffamation. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Émile_Zola#Les_proc.C3.A8s_Zola http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Émile_Zola_dans_l’affaire_Dreyf... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_qdr=all&q=Zola Dreyfus... |

criminal libel Explanation: I am no legal expert, but as I understand it, there is a distinction between slander, usually spoken, and libel, usually written. Coming from Zola, I am guessing it was written. Wikipedia supports this: Zola was brought to trial for criminal libel on 9 June 1899, and was convicted on 23 February, sentenced, and removed from the Legion of Honor. Rather than go to jail, Zola fled to England. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emile_zola |
