In a country governed by the rule of law, freedoms are protected within a legal framework, ensuring the safety of citizens and the respect of their fundamental rights, both online and offline. Operating independently, the judiciary is responsible for enforcing these laws and upholding justice.

The arrest of Pavel Durov on French soil was conducted as part of an ongoing judicial investigation. This action was strictly within the legal domain and should not be misconstrued as a political decision. It is now up to the judges to determine the outcome of this matter, following the principles of justice and the rule of law.

The international community have been criticizing France for the arrest.
