France [deports] Algerian imam over accusations of hate speech Mohamed Tataiat arrived in France in 1985 and has been serving as an imam in Toulouse since 1987.

(Morocco World News) Mohamed Tataiat, an Algerian national serving as an imam in Toulouse, France, has been deported back to Algeria following his conviction for inciting hatred and violence against the Jewish community. The deportation took place on Friday evening, according to French media reports.

The expulsion came after a message from French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin on the social network X, where he said that immigration authorities have moved to deport the imam. In the post, Darmanin described Tataiat as a preacher of hate and said he was already condemned by the justice system.

Tataiat’s lawyer condemned the deportation, calling it a “forced expulsion.”
