His expulsion was ordered as an absolute emergency. On Friday October 20, administrative justice suspended the expulsion order targeting Mariam Abou Daqqa, 72, an activist for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The Interior Ministry informed AFP that the State will appeal this decision.
The PFLP activist, a radical left-wing organization described as “terrorist” by Israel and the European Union, arrived legally in France at the end of September to hold conferences. But after the deadly Hamas attack on Israeli territory on October 7, it was notified on Monday of an expulsion order issued by the Ministry of the Interior.
“A serious attack on freedom of expression”
Pending this expulsion, she was placed under house arrest in Bouches-du-Rhône until the end of November. She challenged this order on Friday morning before the administrative court as part of a summary liberty order, an emergency procedure.
“The Minister of the Interior has committed a serious and manifestly illegal attack on freedom of expression and the freedom to come and go” of Mariam Abou Daqqa, estimated the summary judge of the Paris administrative court in his order, of which AFP was aware. This woman has no “not called to support Hamas nor made anti-Semitic remarks nor committed acts of public provocation to discrimination, hatred or violence against a group of people because of their belonging to an ethnicity, a nation, a race or a religionadded the judge.
On October 9, thehe President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, had decided to ban Mariam Abu Daqqa from coming to the Palais-Bourbon on November 9, on the occasion of the screening of the film Yallah Gaza, by Roland Nurier.
