War on terror/ 81 percent of
French people support measures to strip French citizenship
The Conseil Constitutionnel, France’s top legal body,
dismissed a legal challenge by Ahmed Sahnouni’s lawyer, saying the decision to
revoke his French citizenship was lawful.
Sahnouni, a
Moroccan naturalised by France in 2003, was sentenced to seven years in jail in
March 2013 for his role in a terrorist organisation and stripped of his
citizenship in May last year.
His lawyer had
argued that the move breached the equality between French-born citizens and
those who are naturalised, and was thus unconstitutional.
