France, Jan. 16 -- Mahdieh Esfandiari, 39, was arrested in France in February on charges of promoting and inciting "tterrorism" on social media. The offences carry a maximum sentence of seven years in prison and a fine of up to €100,000.

She's accused of writing posts for a channel called "Axis of the Resistance" in 2023 and 2024 on platforms including Telegram, X, Twitch and YouTube.

In particular, the organisation's Telegram account glorified the deadly attack carried out by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on 7 October 2023 in Israel, incited terrorist acts and insulted the Jewish community.
