France Expelled Moroccan Citizens Convicted for Terrorism

In April this year, authorities in France deported Rachid Aït El Hadj, a Moroccan national who was convicted of terrorism in 2007. The Moroccan national was also stripped of his French nationality, according to a police source cited by Le Figaro.

The Interior Minister of France, Gerald Darmanin, thanked French authorities through a post on his X account.

In October 2023, authorities in France revealed that two or three people were placed in administrative detention facilities and were subject to the deportation process after being reported for radical acts, due to the murder of a teacher Arras by his former student, known for having a record of radical acts and statements.

The Minister of Interior said that the fate of these people awaits all who have a record of radical statements or acts, and it will apply to those not of French nationality, indicating that those with a residence permit will be stripped of their rights and will be deported as well.

Back then it was reported that the first case of these acts was reported in the Alpes-Maritimes, where a person was arrested after driving around in front of a synagogue in Cannes. The police then revealed that there was a tear gas canister in the trunk of the vehicle.
