CWN Editor's Note: The mayor of the southern French town of Beaucaire has defied repeated court orders to remove a Nativity scene from the town hall, according to a new report from the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe.

In December, an initial court order imposed a fine of 1,000 euros per day. The Ligue des droits de l’homme, or Human Rights League, has requested an increase of the fine to 5,000 euros per day.
