The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that it is closely monitoring the situation surrounding Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram and a UAE citizen, following his detention in France. The Ministry has requested that the French government provide Durov with necessary consular services to ensure his prompt legal support and potential early release.
The UAE has emphasized its commitment to prioritizing the welfare of its citizens and offering comprehensive support to protect their interests. Durov's arrest has sparked international concern about free speech and authoritarianism, with tech industry leaders, celebrities, and political figures voicing opposition.
In a recent development, Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of Russia's State Duma, has accused the Biden administration of orchestrating the arrest to exert control over Telegram through France. However, French President Emmanuel Macron has clarified that the arrest is part of an ongoing judicial investigation, not politically motivated.
The Tribunal Judiciaire de Paris has extended Durov's detention to 96 hours, leveling 12 charges against him, including:
Fraud
Drug trafficking
Cyberbullying
Organized crime
Promoting terrorism
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
