Tre journalister fra Al-Jazeera ble pågrepet av fransk politi onsdag, mistenkt for å stå bak dronene over Paris. Al-Jazeera hevder de kun var ute for å dekke drone-overflyvningene.

Three al-Jazeera journalists have been arrested on suspicion of illegally flying a drone over key Paris landmarks, the prosecutor’s office has said.

It said the three foreign nationals, aged 70, 54 and 36 were taken into custody on Wednesday afternoon after police spotted the drone flying in the Bois de Boulogne woods in western Paris.

They can be held for a maximum of 24 hours under French law. Flying drones without a license in France is illegal and carries a maximum one-year prison sentence and a €75,000 (£55,000) fine.

An al-Jazeera spokesman said: “Three al-Jazeera English journalists have been held by police in Paris while filming a report on the city’s recent mystery drones. We will comment further when more information is available.”
