Coin Telegraph

Telegram founder Pavel Durov's arrest has sparked widespread condemnation of the French government for promoting censorship policies.

Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov and his partner Juli Vavilova recently revealed that they learned Juli was pregnant amid the Telegram founder's brief detainment by French authorities, and the couple believes the stress from the ensuing investigation caused a miscarriage on October 4, 2024.

According to a Telegram post from Vavilova, she first became aware of the pregnancy on August 25. Durov's companion described the moment she found out:

On the advice of her doctor, the social media influencer refrained from immediately responding to law enforcement requests for questioning due to the immense stress it would cause during such an early stage of pregnancy.
