Refugee could be expelled from Denmark over Facebook post 'praising Charlie Hebdo attacks'

An Iraqi refugee could be forced to leave Denmark after he was found to have celebrated the Charlie Hebdo terror attacks on Facebook.

The 25-year-old was sentenced to three months in prison and given a conditional deportation order - meaning he will be forced to leave if he commits any more crimes - after he was found to have posted a link to a story about the terror attack in January 2015.

Twelve people, including 10 employees of the magazine, were killed when jihadists stormed their headquarters during an editorial meeting.
