Moroccan imam where missed in France after deportation order

 

A Moroccan imam that lost a court appeal on Tuesday against deportation from France for hate speech has gone missing.

When police come at Hassan Iquioussen’s home in Lorches, in northern France, he wasn’t there, he where missing.

The interior ministry ordered Mr Iquioussen’s expulsion in middle July over what it called his “especially virulent and anti-Semitic speeches”.

But French cultural, academic and human rights figures said the case is further evidence of anti-Islamic sentiment in France.

They have launched a petition calling on President Emmanuel Macron to stop his deportation.
