Dieudonné arrested over Facebook post on Paris gunman
Notorious French comedian Dieudonné Mbala Mbala has been arrested for being an apologist for terrorism after suggesting on Facebook that he sympathised with one of the Paris gunmen, a judicial source has said.
Prosecutors had opened the case against him on Monday after he wrote Tonight, as far as Im concerned, I feel like Charlie Coulibaly mixing the slogan Je suis Charlie, used in tribute to the journalists killed at magazine Charlie Hebdo, with a reference to gunman Amédy Coulibaly. Dieudonné was arrested on Wednesday.
