Controversial activist Kemi Seba, known for his fiercely anti-Western, pan-Africanist stance, has been released from French custody without charges, two days after he was arrested in Paris, reports RFI.
French prosecutors confirmed on Thursday that Seba was released the day before, although preliminary investigations into his activities are continuing.
The France-born activist, whose real name is Stellio Gilles Robert Capo Chichi, was detained on Monday on suspicion of "foreign interference" in French affairs.
He has previously been sentenced in France several times for incitement to racial hatred, is often accused of antisemitism and was stripped of his French nationality in July.
Seba's lawyer, Juan Branco, told a press conference the arrest came as part of an investigation into colluding with a foreign power to incite aggression or hostility against France and undermining its national interests.
