On 21 February 1987, the main Action directe members, Jean-Marc Rouillan, [[Nathalie Ménigon]], [[Joëlle Aubron]], and [[Georges Cipriani]], were arrested. They were later sentenced to life imprisonment. [[Régis Schleicher]] had already been arrested in 1984. Joëlle Aubron was released in June 2004 for health reasons and died from a cancer that had metastasized to her brain on 1 March 2006.
 
There is an ongoing campaign by some sections of the French far-left that the Action directe members still imprisoned, who consider themselves [[political crime|political prisoners]], should be [[parole]]d. In December 2007, Rouillan was allowed a state of "semi-liberty", able to leave prison for extended periods. In September 2008, a Parisian court called for the revoking of this status after he declared in an interview with ''[[L'Express (France)|L'Express]]'' that "I remain convinced that armed struggle is necessary at certain moments of the revolutionary process".<ref>{{Cite news|date=October 1, 2008|title=Le parquet demande la révocation de la semi-liberté de Rouillan|work=[[Libération]]|url=http://www.liberation.fr/societe/0101119728-rouillan-la-lutte-armee-est-necessaire|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309145332/http://www.liberation.fr/societe/0101119728-rouillan-la-lutte-armee-est-necessaire|archive-date=2012-03-09|quote="Il faut clarifier les choses: le processus de lutte armée tel qu’il est né dans l’après-68, dans ce formidable élan d’émancipation, n’existe plus (...)
