A 33-year-old Afghan migrant has been placed in pretrial detention in Montpellier after being arrested on suspicion of deliberately starting several fires in the city center, directly behind the Opéra Comédie.
According to investigators, the incidents occurred in the early hours of Sunday. At around 5:40 a.m., officers monitoring the Montpellier urban surveillance system observed an individual igniting a garbage container on Rue de la Maréchaussée, directly behind the opera house. After setting the fire, the suspect walked away from the scene and fled on foot.
Midi Libre reported how police patrols were alerted by radio and quickly located a man matching the description a short distance away on Rue des Étuves. He was arrested without incident and later identified as a 33-year-old Afghan national who told officers he was homeless.
The investigation found that three garbage containers were set on fire on Rue de la Maréchaussée before the suspect moved to nearby Rue Richelieu, where three scooters were deliberately torched. Four additional scooters parked close by were damaged as the flames spread.
The fire also blackened the rendering of nearby residential buildings, with authorities saying the blaze came close to spreading further.
The suspect was brought before the Montpellier public prosecutor on Monday and has been ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
He will remain in pre-trial detention pending an expedited hearing.
Arson attacks by migrants have become somewhat commonplace across France in recent years. In July last year, a 51-year-old Moroccan migrant was convicted for an arson attack that destroyed four acres of forest in Saint-Gilles. Despite the severe arson attack and a lengthy criminal record, he was only given a suspended sentence and will serve no jail time unless he reoffends.
One high-profile case involved a Sudanese migrant who nearly killed dozens of people in a series of arson attacks across the French city of Pau in 2022. In total, he burned down 16 apartments, multiple cars, and part of a church, while one student caught up in one of the blazes was forced to jump from her apartment window, resulting in her breaking both of her ankles and needing semi-permanent use of a cane.
Despite being convicted of the mass arson, he was not ordered to be deported, as he claimed his life would be under threat if he returned to Sudan.
In July last year, two French churches were hit with arson attacks in what authorities considered to be religiously-motivated offenses, while in May, a group of young men stormed another church in Avignon, shouting “Allahu akbar” and threatening to burn the church down.
The intimidation led to police officers guarding the building during Sunday morning masses.
Labour is braced for another backlash from Muslim voters in May over the party’s support for Israel, with pro-Gaza independents expected to make gains.
Mr Butt will represent the Independent Candidates Alliance, which has been set up by activists Akhmed Yakoob and Shakeel Afsar.
The feeling among both Muslims and Christians against the starvation and bombings
in palestine, is very strong, most of the local Muslims were evicted from the palestine area
Both men ran for seats in the second city at the 2024 general election on a pro-Gaza platform.
Mr Butt will contest the Sparkhill ward, where almost two-thirds of residents have a Pakistani background.
In a video announcing his candidacy, he said: “With the help of Allah, with your support and with these guys behind me, I know we are going to take this.”
The anger against israel has united the Muslim and Christian community
Labours support for israeli terrorism will cost it dear at the ballot box

Ah nothing like a bit of “enrichment” from these negroes. And you know what? Europeans just love them. After all the millions of negroes and asiatics being imported into Europe by treacherous politicos in the pay of their ((( masters ))) , need “protection”. Right???
News like this is take with a pinch of sea salt which much better than table bleached salt. This kind of news is meant for a reaction one lone man can start a world war this how I see this type of reporting. From one man now its an attack on culture inviting all the people to feel some way about a whole other nation in some way. This is truly hate and incitement an invitation to distuction and injustice.

This is just a reprise of the Bronze age collapse 3,000 years ago when a load of barbarians emerged from the sea on boats and proceeded to loot, burn and destroy all the wealthy towns of that era.
Sound familiar? It wouldn’t surprise me if the ancestors of the people doing it today (ZOG) were responsible then.
Nothing is ever what it seems.
These are NOT migrants…
They are FOREIGN AGENTS !!!

How I detest the shithole that is the jew-k. Not a single whitey will stand up. My guess is they’re all kiddy fiddlers like the above vermin.
Can’t really complain. Look what we all did to Afghanistan.
