France: Giselle Pelico’s Daughter, Caroline Darian, Clinic

While the trial for Giselle’s team Peliko in , was discontinued for a week before hearings continued on November 4, Giselle Peliko’s daughter, Caroline Darian, announced her decision to return to hospital these days to manage to rest and “sleep again”. For the daughter of Peliko, Caroline Darian, the trial that has begun since the beginning of September and will continue from November 4 to December 20 before the criminal court of Vaklouz in Avignon, is as harsh and psychophobic as for her mother who has been her father’s main victim and their arranger for a decade of rape by strangers within their own home in France. Exhausted from the first weeks of the trial, the daughter of the Pelicos, announced on her Instagram account that she needed “to return to the clinic for several days to recover all my energy, to be able to sleep again, to make up for the weeks of repeated insomnia.” In particular, Giselle Peliko’s daughter announced through her Instagram account (26.10.2024) that she would “use the break from the trial to rest in a clinic”.

As the hearings continue next week, Giselle Peliko’s daughter insists that “this test” will leave her “indelible signs.” She accuses her father of “sed” her and of “undoubtedly molesting his own daughter”. During the trial, she told the police she found out that her father See this post on Instagram. For a test “hard to endure” the 45-year-old, who says she has the support of her closest people, “an extraordinary husband and a little boy full of life”. The last part of her message, however, offers a ray of hope. Caroline Darian says she is ready “to leave nothing”, as the rape trial in Mazan brings to the fore the issue of chemical submission, sexual violence and consent. In September, 10,000 people took to the streets to support Giselle Pelico, who asked her ex-husband’s trial to be open who drugged her in order for him to rape her and dozens of strangers. Fifty more men aged 36 to 74 are tried together with Dominique Pelicos. Information from Le Figaro
