PARIS (Reuters) - France is preparing to expel 231 foreigners on a government watch list for suspected extremist religious beliefs, a police union source said on Sunday, two days after a Russian-born Islamist beheaded a teacher.
France’s interior ministry, responsible for expelling foreigners, was not available to confirm the information, which had been initially reported by Europe 1.
France defines extremists as “people who, engaged in a process of radicalisation, are likely to want to go abroad to join terrorist groups or take part in terrorist activities”.
President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist government has been under pressure from conservative and far-right parties to take a tougher stance on non-nationals deemed to pose a security threat.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin asked local prefects to order the expulsions at a meeting on Sunday afternoon, according to the source and Europe 1.
Of the total number of suspects, 180 people are currently in prison and 51 were due to be arrested in the next hours, the police union source said.
EVery western country should make it a rule that every person who seeks asylum or stay in Europe or US has to sign a form declaring that he would not oppose freedom of speech and it would be ok for him or her even if someone criticises or insults their religious figures and it should be clearly declared in the form itself that any act however so minor that is against the values of their country would result in immediate deportation.
