He was arrested this Wednesday morning, during a climbing session, by the high mountain gendarmerie platoon (PGHM) of Pierrefitte-Nestalas (Hautes-Pyrénées). A man will soon appear before the Tarbes court. He is suspected of being the author of publications on Facebook, where he boasted that he had made around 50 mountain excursions during the confinement, when they were prohibited.
In one of these posts, where we see a man skiing on the sides of a peak, it was about "going out against the dictatorship", "against the police [or rather the militia]" , "An exit from resistance" and "libertarian". "I only obey freedom," wrote the account manager another day, assuring: "You will never find me." Other photos illustrated excursions by mountain bike, or on foot, "more than 3,000 meters", the day after a "40 km trail".
With the photos posted on the social network, the gendarmes of the PGHM identified the various places, and finally arrested a suspect.
