FRANCE - A young man who "liked" a gruesome Twitter picture showing French teacher Samuel Paty after he was murdered has been charged with glorifying terrorism, French authorities said Sunday.
Paty was attacked and killed on the street for showing his students cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in a class on free speech. His killer, an 18-year-old Chechen refugee who had been living in France since he was a child, was shot dead by police. Before his death he posted a picture of the teacher's severed head on Twitter.
The 22-year-old man charged on Sunday is also of Chechen origin, the public prosecutor in the central town of Blois, where he lives, said. He was already on the radar of the authorities for having endorsed a massacre at the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo that first published the Mohammed cartoons.The man denied being radicalised, Chevallier added.Police have carried out dozens of raids on individuals and organisations suspected of supporting or abetting extremism.But in France, which has a long tradition of satirising religion, they are seen as symbolic of free speech.
In South Africa they will arrest thousands people.
This is so funny. France condemns killing of teaches citing their support for freedom of expression only to arrest a man who freely expressed is happiness that the said teacher was killed.
Good!
