Police in Denmark have opened investigations into 14 social media users who shared footage of Islamist militants beheading two Scandinavian tourists in Morocco last December.
In a statement the police said two of them were accused of explicitly approving of a terrorist act, while the other 12 could face up to three years in prison for spreading the video.
Several people have been charged in Morocco in connection with the murders of the two women in their twenties, who were hiking in the Atlas mountains.
Maren Ueland, 28, and Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, 24, had arrived on a month-long holiday in Morocco on 9 December and had travelled to the foothills of Mount Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak, 10km (six miles) from Imlil.
Their bodies were found in their tent.
