(Brussels Times) Hassan Iquioussen, the Moroccan imam accused by French authorities of spreading hate, was sent back to Morocco on Friday, Belgium’s state secretary for asylum and migration, Nicole de Moor, reported.
Iquioussen had fled to Belgium in summer after France decided not to renew his residence permit and send him back to Morocco. By order of de Moor, he was held in November in a detention center because he did not have permission to stay in Belgium. “We cannot allow an extremist to just walk around on our territory,” de Moor said in a press release. “Those who are not allowed to be here should be sent back. Through good cooperation, we sent this man back to Morocco, his country of origin.”
