E/CN.4/1996/72/Add.3 page 35 Location of acts of anti-Semitic violence A list of places where anti-Semitic violence and threats great disparities. 7 occur shows The most affected regions are Ile-de-France, Rhône-Alpes and Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur. Since 1991, almost 44 per cent of all the incidents reported nationally were concentrated in Ile-de-France (44 of 101). The proportion (248 of 573) is the same with regard to threats. The inner-city area of Paris was particularly affected, with many pieces of mail, leaflets and letters addressed to the representatives of the Jewish community, as well as to political figures of all persuasions. The reasons for the relatively high rate of anti-Semitic violence in Ile-de-France are the high overall population density, the large Jewish community and the activities of extreme-right groups and skinheads. The regions of Rhône-Alpes (20 acts, 45 threats) and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (11 acts, 57 threats) are quite far behind. Alsace and Lorraine are particularly affected owing to the activities of a small group of neo-Nazi PNFE members. The Midi-Pyrénées region reports a large number of acts of intimidation, which usually do not lead to physical acts. In the rest of the country, only a few scattered acts have been reported.
