Hassan Iquioussen, the preacher from the north of France, widely followed on social networks, could at any time be arrested and deported to Morocco. The Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, announced it on July 28. On Tuesday, August 2, he suggested to the National Assembly that the case would be quickly settled: Hassan Iquioussen is now listed in the file of wanted persons and Morocco has already issued a consular pass for, in the words of the Minister, the“expulse military hand” of France. Unless the summary procedure that his lawyer, Me Lucie Simon, announces having filed Tuesday evening before the administrative court of Paris, ends before. “The right to effective remedy is guaranteed by the Constitution, the expulsion of Mr. Iquioussen cannot take place before an impartial judge rules on its legality”warns the lawyer on Twitter, even if her appeal is not suspensive.
Hassan Iquioussen, 58, born in France but of Moroccan nationality, is the subject of a ministerial order of expulsion issued because of“acts of explicit and deliberate incitement to discrimination, hatred or violence against a group of people”. In particular: “A proselytizing speech (…) bearer of a vision of Islam contrary to the values of the French Republic”, “a speech with a particularly virulent anti-Semitic content”advocating the “submission of women for the benefit of men”encouraging the “separatism” and the ” contempt “ of secularism, lists the decree that The world was able to consult.
“This preacher has for years held a hate speech against the values of France, contrary to our principles of secularism and equality between women and men. He will be expelled from French territory.welcomed Gérald Darmanin on Twitter, from July 28.
A decision “legally totally disproportionate”supports Me Lucie Simon, for whom the method used is “dangerous”. “We place ourselves on the ground of morality, which is not the legal question of expulsion”she says, continuing to question: “What is the topicality and the seriousness of the threat that he would represent to justify his expulsion, when he has spent his whole life in France, and that the facts for which he is accused are more than ten, even twenty years old? »
“the hardest tendency of the Muslim Brotherhood”
Born in Denain, in the North, Hassan Iquioussen is the father of five children, all French, and the grandfather of fifteen grandchildren. “I am French in heart and soul”he asserts in a video posted on his YouTube account on July 29, denouncing a « injustice » and one “administrative relentlessness on the part of the prefect of the North”. He also explains that if he no longer has French nationality, it is only because his father has. “taken by the hand” before his majority, like his brother and sisters, to get him to sign a waiver. Mr. Iquioussen affirms that he then tried twice to recover French nationality, but that it was refused to him in 1999, according to him because of the “very strong ties” that he maintains with the Union of Islamic Organizations in France (UOIF, now Muslims of France), close to the Muslim Brotherhood.
