Set Telegram CEO Durov free letter surpasses 300,000 signatures on messaging app

Set Telegram CEO Durov free letter surpasses 300,000 signatures on messaging app

Quick Take A Telegram mini-app that allows people to sign a letter in support of freeing the messaging platform’s CEO and founder, Pavel Durov, quickly attracted over 300,000 signatures. The messaging app has said it has close to 1 billion users.

In a show of support, more than 300,000 Telegram users have signed a letter advocating for French authorities to release recently detained Pavel Durov, CEO and founder of the messaging app.

Users can sign the letter via a mini-app accessible through Telegram. TON -2.88% Society, a promoter of the TON blockchain, launched the mini-app on Tuesday.  

"The arrest of [Durov] is a direct assault on the basic human right, the freedom of expression of everyone," TON Society said in the letter . The organization said it condemned Durov's arrest, which happened over the weekend at a Paris airport.

Durov was arrested as part of a sweeping cybercrime investigation that included allegations of providing "cryptology" services and tools, according to a statement released by the Tribunal Judiciaire de Paris on Monday.

"TON Society is a community-focused organization focused on the decentralization of TON," the group told The Block. "With this initiative, it’s clear what the opinion was, free speech is not a crime! Pavel Durov should be free."

Popular crypto-sphere figures have also expressed their support for Durov, including Elon Musk, TRON founder Justin Sun, and Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko.

Telegram has said it has about 1 billion users worldwide. It is unclear how many of those are bots.
