French Comedian Faces Up to 7 Years in Prison for Facebook Post 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
A French comedian is facing up to seven years in prison for a Facebook
post in the wake of the attacks. The comedian, Dieudonné M'bala M'bala,
was arrested and charged with inciting terrorism after posting that he
felt like "Charlie Coulibaly," a term which combined the name of
targeted magazine Charlie Hebdo and the name of kosher supermarket
shooter, Amedy Coulibaly.
