Austrian activist Martin Sellner was only arrested at a French airport and told he would be deported, just hours after taking a flight from Vienna for a book lecture, revitalization party and planned protest in Paris. French authorities seized his phone and moved to ban the conference, citing social media posts and protests against communist groups and Antifa. Sellner said the country opposes peaceful assembly, as he faces removal as an EU citizen. NewsForce.
