Lawyers for a group of football fans sentenced to prison over street violence at the Euro 2016 tournament in France maintain the verdicts are too severe.
In expedited trials, six English nationals have been convicted and given sentences of between one and three months.
And a local man has been handed a two-year sentence.
The seven men are the first to be convicted in fast-tracked trials after being arrested during street brawls at the Euro 2016 football tournament in the French port city of Marseille.
Six English fans, some among them accused of throwing bottles at police, have been sentenced to between one and three months in prison.
They have also been banned from returning to France for two years.
One of the lawyers representing the convicted fans, Karine Laigel, says she is disappointed at the outcome.
"I've got the feeling that you can't condemn someone who's a first-time delinquent, when there are no victims, to a sentence which is so heavy. Three months' incarceration, two months' incarceration, two years' ban from French territory ... These are sanctions which are appropriate for repeat offenders and violence perpetrated on people who are wounded, which wasn't the case here. We have people who are first-time offenders, and there you go. It's disarming for the defence to have such heavy sanctions which make it look like sentences designed to make an example for the gatherings to come."
The lawyer for a French man sentenced to two years in prison says his client's sentence is also designed to send out a message to other fans.
David Palmeri's conviction contained two counts of aggravated theft, including of an English flag.
Lawyer Henri Viguier says the verdict is excessive.
"Yes, I think he's being used as an example. And you don't do that as a lawyer. You don't make someone an example."
The man's uncle, Jean-Pierre Palmeri, says his family is shocked.
"It's a judgment which is totally in contradiction with what one expects usually from similar acts. There you go. It's a precedent. We are stunned. Two years in prison for a young man of 26 years old who had a normal life. It seems staggering. I have trouble understanding it, myself."
An Austrian man is among at least three other people whose trials are being expedited through Marseille's court system.
They, too, are accused of participating in clashes that have left more than 30 people injured in the opening week of Euro 2016.
English, Russian and French fans have been implicated.
The city's chief prosecutor, meanwhile, says Russian visitors have been central to some of the worst violence seen at the tournament.
French authorities believe around 150 people travelled to France as part of an organised campaign to cause trouble, some even trained to fight.
Manuel Veth is a doctoral candidate at Kings College in London, studying post-Soviet football and politics.
He has told the BBC football hooliganism has evolved over time.
"You see the same kind of hooliganism in Ukraine and in Poland. They don't drink to fight. They basically train to be hooligans -- oftentimes, living a straight edge lifestyle, which is that you don't drink or smoke and that you just train to be a hooligan. It's like almost being in a separate club. In the past, hooliganism was about fighting, but it was always alcohol-induced. And it was still about going to the actual match and actually supporting 'my club.' Here, it seems that this is almost at the next level, that the football is secondary and fighting is primary."
