Aulnay-sous-Bois mosque closed: its association dissolved by cabinet
The association managing the place of worship, which closed in August, is accused of promoting speakers "known for publicly legitimizing acts of terrorism."
The cabinet has decided to dissolve the association responsible for the Aulnay-sous-Bois mosque. According to authorities, the organization had promoted speakers "known for publicly legitimizing acts of terrorism and praising armed jihad."
The prayer hall had already been closed in August by decision of the Montreuil administrative court, which had upheld a six-month closure on August 7.
