Ajouter l’acte d’apologie publique du terrorisme parmi les motifs fondant le refus et le retrait du statut de réfugié et supprimer la condition supplémentaire de l’existence d’une menace grave pour la société française

This French bill, a proposition de loi put forward in the National Assembly, would add public apology for terrorism to the grounds on which refugee status can be refused or withdrawn. It would also remove the extra requirement that a person must pose a serious threat to French society before such a decision can be taken. The aim, as the title indicates, is to make it easier to act against people who publicly praise terrorist acts. This summary is based on the bill's title and metadata only, not the full text. The change would mainly affect asylum seekers and recognised refugees in France who are accused of publicly praising terrorism. French asylum authorities and courts would apply the revised criteria. Refugee rights groups and others concerned with protection standards may take a particular interest in the change.
