A controversial French comedian is to stand trial on charges that he condoned terrorism.
Dieudonne (PRON: DIEU-DONNAY) is one of 54 people arrested since last week's attacks in Paris that left 17 people dead.
In a Facebook post he expressed sympathy for the extremist who attacked a kosher supermarket in the French capital where four people were killed.
