Because of drawings found in his cell in the Centre de rétention administrative (administrative detention centre) Mesnil-Amelot, the arrested man stood trial in Meaux for publicly glorifying terrorism.
Sadiq was accused of glorifying terrorism and damaging his room at the CRA (Centre de rétention administrative) in Mesnil-Amelot. He was taken into police custody and brought before the Criminal Court in Meaux on Wednesday February 23, 2022 to stand trial on immediate summons. He was eventually acquitted but fined.
The Moroccan national, who was staying illegally in France, was placed in the Mesnil-Amelot CRA on Monday February 14, 2022. Three days later, a search of his room revealed several suspicious facts, some of which came under the category of “criminal offences”.
The alerted police officers made the findings and then the seizure: a small drawing of the DAESH flag stuck to the top of the door, a drawing and inscriptions in Arabic scratched on the cupboard door, and numerous sketches of people and weapons (Kalashnikov, knife…) found on him.
In the dock, the accused remained consistent in his statements. He admitted to having made the drawings – Japanese comic book heroes according to him – but denied being the author of the flag and the inlays in the cupboard.actu.fr
