A student from the Blaise-Pascal College in Massy (Essonne) was arrested on Thursday, February 20, after posting insults and threats against teachers and the school on TikTok, as reported by the newspaper Le Parisien.
The arrest for glorification of terrorism was made possible by a report from Pharos, the state platform for illegal online content and behavior, which was initiated by the principal of the school in question.
A video of Osama Bin Laden with the message: “This school will finally be attacked by Daesh on September 11, 2025” had been distributed on the thirteen-year-old student’s TikTok account. Religious chants in Arabic and another video showing a plane crashing into the school were also discovered, triggering the alarm.
Although the investigation is still ongoing, the police are said to have the necessary information to determine the origin of the publications and videos glorifying terrorism. The accused student has already been punished with citizenship training at the Holocaust memorial in Paris and will be summoned by the judiciary at a later date.
