Moroccan Teen Arrested for Praising Christchurch Mosque Shooter on Facebook
A 19-year-old Moroccan was arrested on Saturday by the judicial police department of Fez. It is a question of advocating terrorist acts, in this case the shootings in Christchurch that targeted two mosques in New Zealand.
This individual, one Ayoub F., 19, an apprentice at the ITA (Institute of Applied Technology), would have asked on Facebook for the release of one of the authors of the shooting, Brenton Tarrant. Following his comment, many Internet users called for his arrest. We can therefore assume that the arrest that took place was based on this publication, this request to release Tarrant...
On this subject, a press release from the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) does not say much and simply states the publication by the suspect on his Facebook account of a publication in which he advocated the terrorist act that targeted Friday worshipers in two mosques in New Zealand.
The young man now risks a sentence of between 5 and 15 years in prison, according to the penal code, which a few years ago toughened the sentences against people accused of terrorism.
It should be noted that Saïd Taghmaoui has just published the shocking video of Brenton Tarrant (shooting at the worshippers) and named it "Duty of Memory", at the very moment when people are appearing in court in Denmark for having shared videos of the Imlil attack.
Let us recall that this odious attack in New Zealand left 49 dead and several dozen injured, including 20 seriously injured, all innocent victims. The abject criminal Brenton Tarrant was arrested and appeared in court on Saturday.
