France is moving to deport prominent Egyptian-Palestinian activist Ramy Shaath over his opposition to Israel's genocide in Gaza.
Shaath, a political campaigner and human rights defender, was released from arbitrary detention in Egypt in January 2022 following pressure from French President Emmanuel Macron.
A key figure in the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings, he now faces expulsion from France on the grounds that he poses a “serious threat to public order”.
He is due to appear before a deportation committee on 21 May, after which the local prefecture "may immediately issue a deportation order that can be enforced at any time", according to his lawyer, Damia Taharraoui.
A notice by the Nanterre prefecture and seen by AFP cited Saath's activism and comments in support of Palestinians as factors in his deportation.
