The arrest of three male bloggers inciting people to riot and aggression against police using blogs hosted by Skyrock

Les auteurs de trois blogs incitant à l'émeute et à l'agression de policiers ont été arrêtés aujourd'hui à Aix-en-Provence et en région parisienne. Ces sites personnels, hébergés par la radio Skyrock, qui les a désactivés ce week-end, "incitaient à participer aux mouvements généraux de violences urbaines et à attaquer des policiers et des commissariats", a résumé un magistrat du parquet de Paris. Les suspects, un mineur et deux majeurs, encourent jusqu'à cinq ans de prison.

The authors of three blogs inciting riots and aggression against police were arrested today in Aix-en-Provence and in the Parisian region. These personal sites, hosted by Radio Skyrock, which took the blogs offline this weekend, "encouraged widespread participation in urban violence and attacks against the police and police stations," said a magistrate from the Paris public prosecutor's office. The suspects, a minor and two majors, could face up to five years in prison.

L'ouverture ou non d'une information judiciaire, qui mettrait au jour les éventuelles attaches politiques des suspects et déterminerait si leur démarche procède ou non d'une entreprise organisée, doit être décidée dans la journée.

The opening (or not) of a judicial information [center], which would provide information on the political affiliations of the suspects and [help] determine whether or not their activities were the result of an organized effort, is to be decided within a day.
