According to the report by AFP, Imam Hassan Iquioussen was released on Monday morning from Tournai prison in Belgium where he was imprisoned, after being arrested a month earlier. The court has ordered that he must be placed under electronic surveillance and placed under house arrest.

The Moroccan imam, arrested in Belgium a month ago, was reported to have evaded an expulsion order by France. He obtained on October 27 to be released and placed under electronic surveillance, the Belgian justice considering the risk of flight as minor.

The placement under an electronic bracelet requires the 58-year-old man to reside in “a specific place, determined by the order” of release, according to a spokesman for the prosecution. He must be staying with a friend.

Hassan Iquioussen was at the heart of a politico-legal soap opera this summer. At the end of July, the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin announced the expulsion of the preacher from the North, after filing a report with the intelligence services.

The decree accuses him of “proselytizing speech interspersed with remarks inciting hatred and discrimination and carrying a vision of Islam contrary to the values ​​of the Republic”.

But the imam could not be found when this decree, which he had challenged in court, had been definitively validated by the Council of State on August 31.
