(AFP) French authorities on Sunday held three Algerians suspected of inciting violence in TikTok videos, with at least two of them facing terror-related charges.
The arrests come amid growing political tensions between Paris and its former North African colony.
A video blogger known as “Imad Tintin” was arrested Friday outside Grenoble after publishing a video urging followers to “burn alive, kill and rape on French territory.”
The post was taken down after receiving 800,000 views but hardline right-wing Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau published a video grab on his social media accounts, condemning the publication as “vile.”
A judge on Sunday placed the 31-year-old blogger under judicial supervision, Grenoble prosecutors said.
