Student and scholarship
The young woman, benefiting from a student visa and a government scholarship as part of a program intended for Gazaouis students, was to join Sciences Po Lille at the start of the school year. She arrived in France on July 11, according to a French diplomatic source.
But the discovery of publications calling for killing the Jews on social networks in the past two years, eliminated since, has led to its unsubscription, a judicial investigation for the apology of terrorism, and an investigation to determine why it had not been detected upstream.
AFP has not been able to confirm the screenshots allocated to this student by Internet users and the media. Sciences Po Lille said on Wednesday that “proposals on the girl’s social networks are confirmed”, without providing more details.
“Profiles have a survey.”
The lively controversy raised by this case brought Jean-Noël Barrot to announce on Friday that France has been frozen all its evacuation programs from Gaza pending the conclusions of a survey on the faults which prevented the detection of these publications.
Questioned by AFP, the Quai d’Orsay did not specify how many people were affected by this decision, invoking reasons of confidentiality.
Moreover, “All the profiles that have entered France will be the subject of a new verification”he added, while France has welcomed hundreds of Gazaouis since the outbreak of war between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, in retaliation for the latter’s attacks against Israel on October 7, 2023.
