ADM REPORT “COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT”

“Today’s human rights violations are the conflicts of tomorrow.”
Zeid Ra’ad Al-Hussein, UN High Commissioner for human rights.

This report complements the available reports on the State of emergency and the law reinforcing internal security and the fight against terrorism (SILT). Indeed, there is no official report on the closures of the place of worship. It is a matter of making a return field of work followed by ADM to the decision-makers, politicians, European and international organisations. The aim is to combine security imperatives with respect for human rights. It is important to understand the prevention policy linked to the fight against terrorism in France as well as in the world, because the accumulation of anti-terrorism laws and the abuse in their use represent a major risk for the preservation of freedoms in that they question the very foundation of national and international institutions by weakening them.

Only mosques were closed under the SILT law.

The different prevention plans are directed specifically towards the practicing Muslims. ADM continues to denounce this discriminatory treatment, as confirmed by the report on the prevention of radicalisation, which lists 4 Muslim schools and 7 closed places of worship and Muslim shops, as well as the expulsion of 300 foreigners.

This specific treatment because of religious affiliation demonstrates discrimination against Muslims in the fight against terrorism (permanent state of emergency). The amalgam fuels racist anti-Muslim discourse, due to a lack of discernment and political vision in the medium term. There are deploring errors of analysis on violent extremism with the concentration of resources of information on practicing Muslims when they have nothing to do with terrorism.

This security policy confuses Muslims and terrorists. In question: the same religious affiliation to Islam. At the same time, supremacists groups, identity propagating anti-Muslim racism and relying on these amalgam to have supporters. The arrest of extreme right-wing terrorist groups AFO, which were planning attacks on Muslims and imams, the attacks in Christchurch, New Zealand, are a blatant demonstration. Curiously, despite the Census of a large number of identities adhering to these great replacement theses, the invasion of Islam, the authorities have put in place no plan to prevent radicalisation to counter this extremism identity that leads to terrorism identity and threatens the stability of the world, as evidenced by the report on the prevention of radicalisation of March 2019.

It is imperative to review the policy of preventing radicalisation, to combat all forms of violent extremism, to stop confusing Islam and terrorism and to amalgamate Muslims and terrorists. The authorities must protect the freedom of worship and conscience, combat discrimination and hate speech in all its forms, including those targeting Muslims.

If the administrative measures initially focused only on Muslims, today they naturally extend to the rest of society. This accumulation of administrative measures calls into question freedoms such as the right to protest, to inform journalists or to meet…..
