The Council of State cuts to the chase: it upholds the decision to expel the president of the Pessac Mosque
A real cold shower on his fragile but still lively hope of breathing fresh air in France, the inflexible Council of State sealed the fate of Abdourahmane Ridouane, the president of the Pessac Mosque.
He has rejected without batting an eyelid, this Tuesday, September 17, the final appeal that his lawyer, Me Sefen Guez Guez, had rushed to file, the latter protesting against ” the expulsion procedure targeting him, essentially because he denounces – rightly – the treatment of Palestinians by Israel “, while relying on the ” 4 prior court decisions rendered in his favor “.
But nothing worked, since the expulsion order of the territory marked by the seal of Gérald Darmanin, the Minister of the Interior and Religious Affairs who has resigned to this day, has been irrevocably ratified.
As its horizon line desperately collides with the bars of the detention center from Mesnil-Amelot, near Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport, where he has been languishing for a month and a half, after the brutal turn of events that was his arrest at his home on August 8, does Abdourahmane Ridouane still have a chance of being able to escape the charter flight to his home country, Niger?
His lawyer, Me Sefen Guez Guez, who was outraged by an expulsion carried out smoothly by the French State, taking advantage of the Olympic celebrations to orchestrate it at a frantic pace – ” The state is organizing itself so that the operation is carried out at such a rapid pace that the court cannot intervene, it is scandalous. ” – did not wish to react for the moment. He soberly indicated that he would consult with the president of the Pessac Mosque ” analyze the follow-up actions ” to their bitter legal battle.
