Mohamed-Lamine N'Diaye, a 21-year-old Guinean, has been threatened with expulsion by France since September because of a spelling error on one of his identity papers. A demonstration of support for the young man, asking for his regularization, also took place this Thursday in front of the administrative court of Rouen.
“A problem with an act is not enough to taint someone’s identity. We must make an overall assessment, which the prefecture did not do in this situation,” lamented Magali Leroy, lawyer for N’Diaye.
