This arrest comes in the midst of diplomatic tensions between Paris and Algiers, while several Algerian influencers have been arrested in recent weeks in France, notably with the case of the 59-year-old Algerian influencer, “Doualemn”, arrested in Montpellier after a video on TikTok, deported to Algeria and returned the same evening to France.
