French prosecutors filed preliminary charges Thursday against far-right leader Marine Le Pen for tweeting brutal images of ISIS violence, in a new blow to a politician long seen as the face of Europe's anti-immigrant populism.

The prosecutor's office in the Paris suburb of Nanterre said the charges were issued Thursday for "distribution of violent images." If the case eventually reaches trial and she's convicted, Le Pen could face up to three years in prison and 75,000 euros ($117,000 Cdn) in fines.

How is this a blow to anything? Why is it illegal to tweet about ISIS? Isn't that a major blow to freedom?
