"Political aylum"

“radical Islamism”

and

“terrorism”

.

Two structures were dissolved by the Council of Ministers.

These are BarakaCity, accused of

"propagating ideas advocating radical Islam"

and the collective "Cheik Yassine", after the implication of its president Abdelhakim Sefrioui, indicted in the conflict of Conflans-Sainte- Honorine (Yvelines) for

"complicity in a terrorist attack"

.

The leaders of BarakaCity and its founder, Driss Yemmou, known as Idriss Sihamedi, have requested

"political asylum"

from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
