After most figures tied to the radical government had been eliminated, the Revolutionary Tribunal was finally discontinued in Paris on 31 May 1795.
The Revolutionary Tribunal, the Convention's court for political offenders, was finally discontinued on 31 May 1795 (12 Prairial Year III). This came only after most of those associated with the previous radical government had been eliminated, including the convictions and executions of former president Martial Herman and former prosecutor Fouquier-Tinville earlier in May 1795. Claude-Emmanuel Dobsen, president since 28 July 1794, was the Tribunal's last officeholder.
