(Brussels Times) The deportation of a Moroccan national accused of spreading hate propaganda and being a “threat to Belgian society” is being blocked by the Council for Immigration Disputes.
Analysis from OCAD (the Belgian intelligence body) and State Security describe Abdallah Ouahbour from Maaseik as a “hate propagandist” with serious threat level, reports De Standaard.
But the council said those reports “do not form a solid basis” to deport someone from the country and that the accusations are “too general” and “too vague.”
Previous terrorism convictions shouldn’t be taken into account, says council
It thinks that the State Security should make its statements more concrete, for instance by quoting what was actually said in alleged hate speech, and criticised the fact that the analyses were made in connection with previous convictions for terrorism, which it said should not be taken into account.
