The court, which sits in Strasbourg, was seized on Wednesday by the person concerned under article 39 of its rules, which allows it to order the States to “provisional measures” when applicants are exposed to “a real risk of irreparable damage”. Hassan Iquioussen invoked the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights on the prohibition of torture and inhuman and degrading treatment, the right to respect for private and family life, freedom of thought, conscience and religion or freedom of expression.
Morocco as destination
According to the ECHR, Gérald Darmanin issued, on Friday, an order for the expulsion of this imam, withdrawing his residence permit, as well as a second order designating Morocco as a country of destination. “Due to the seriousness of the threat to public order, the minister considered that his right to family life had not been disproportionately violated”explains the ECHR.
Gérald Darmanin again justified the expulsion of this imam, Thursday on CNews, judging that the latter had held “openly anti-Semitic, openly xenophobic, openly homophobic, openly anti-women remarks”. He “has nothing to do on national soil”, insisted the Minister of the Interior. Morocco, he announced on Tuesday, has issued a “consular pass” for “expel manu militari” Hassan Iquioussen, who lives in the North and is registered, according to him, with the “RPF”, the file of wanted persons.
This preacher is very active on social networks, in particular on his YouTube channel, followed by 169,000 people, and on his Facebook page with 42,000 subscribers. Born in France, in Denain, and living near Valenciennes, Hassan Iquioussen, aged 57, had decided, at his majority, still according to Mr. Darmanin, not to opt for French nationality. He claims to have given it up at 16 under the influence of his father – of French nationality – and then tried in vain to obtain it.
