The cases of apology for terrorism are multiplying, a few weeks after the attack which cost the life of Samuel Paty.
From disturbances during the minute of silence in his memory on Monday to social media posts, authorities are actively monitoring these acts.
Three weeks after the terrorist attack on Samuel Paty, this assassination continues to cause turmoil and condemnation.
In schools, 400 incidents disrupted the minute of silence, ten of which are the subject of a criminal investigation according to Jean-Michel Blanquer.
But beyond school, cases of defense of terrorism are reported almost everywhere, especially among young people and are the subject of special attention by the authorities.
Several cases on the same day
In Versailles, for example, two cases took place on the same day.
An Algerian illegal delivery boy posted an Arabic message on a Facebook page, in which he glorified Samuel Paty's murderer.
His text was deleted the next day but the author was arrested by the gendarmes of the Versailles research section commanded by Colonel Andreu.
As he explains, "we have a bunch of cybergendarmes. They went fast enough to identify the person. He was taken into custody and an immediate appearance was held."
At the end of this, the individual was sentenced to six months with a warrant of committal.
He should be deported upon his release from prison.

The same day, a young man of 18, a student in preparatory class at Versailles, was indicted for apologizing for terrorism and threats of death.
He had announced that he wanted to attack one of his teachers who was put away.
Arrested in his high school, the student was finally left free under strict judicial control while the examining magistrate wanted to put him in pre-trial detention.
"No incident goes unanswered"
Monday, already, the National Education has identified 400 violations "in sometimes light, sometimes heavy" forms, during the minute of silence organized Monday in tribute to the assassinated professor Samuel Paty.
This is what the Minister of National Education Jean-Michel Blanquer announced on RTL on Friday.
"Of course, each of these violations is followed by disciplinary proceedings. Sometimes there have even been criminal proceedings", in about ten cases, "including some for the defense of terrorism," said the minister.
"No incident goes unanswered", he assured, without favoring the exclusion of students.
"Exclusion is never a great success in itself, what is rather interesting is to talk with the families, to understand what is happening and to go further with the social administrations and the police and justice when necessary, "he said.
He recalled that in the murder of the professor "it is the family environment which was terrible".
