The expulsion of imam Mahjoub Mahjoubi to Tunisia on the same day of his arrest, February 23, is a “harsh decision”. Director of public liberties and legal affairs within the ministry, Pascale Leglise also does not dispute the “serious” attack on private and family life that this exceptional decision entails.
But for this senior official, it was “perfectly necessary and adapted and proportionate to the seriousness” of the situation.
