Arrested for apologizing for terrorism, at the time of the minute of silence in schools, in tribute to Samuel Paty.
About twenty police officers and a dozen gendarmes intervened on Monday around 11 a.m. in Poitiers (Vienne), reports France Bleu, to apprehend two men of Afghan nationality, who allegedly made comments condoning terrorism on social networks, and relayed images relating to the Islamic State.
The investigation conducted by the prosecutor of the Republic of Poitiers, led to this intervention, carried out in a reception center for migrants in the city, specifies France Bleu.
Only one of the two wanted men was present on the spot, adds France 3, the second suspect having been arrested a little later in another place of the city.
