Palestinian activist Ramy Shaath is facing deportation proceedings in France, his lawyer says. According to the lawyer, French authorities now consider Shaath’s presence in the country a “serious threat to public order,” a basis used to move forward with removal proceedings. The outlets report that the process follows Shaath’s time in France with his wife after earlier detention abroad. Shaath is described as a co-founder of Urgence Palestine, a group involved in Palestinian advocacy. Earlier, he was detained in Egypt from 2019 to 2022. After his release from detention in Egypt, he was allowed to enter France to join his wife, where he subsequently became an activist and drew further legal attention. The reporting does not provide details of the specific allegations underlying the “public order” assessment, nor does it state the timing or expected outcome of the deportation process. Shaath’s legal situation remains under review as the proceedings continue.
