(Anadolu) Two Islamic schools have been closed down in France’s southern city of Montpellier, according to local media reports.
Officials carried out unannounced checks at the two schools on Tuesday and ordered the administrations to shut them down, news outlet Actu.fr reported on Wednesday.
The raids were carried out on the directives of Hugues Moutouh, governor of the Herault region.
A small mosque in one of the schools will also be shut down.
According to Moutouh, the schools were “illegal” and the mosque was operating without permission, the report said.
