“…There are around 23,000 names on France’s Watch List for the Prevention of Terrorist Radicalization (FSPRT). Of the 1,115 people recorded there whose residence status was irregular, the statistics show that 601 foreigners were deported back to their home countries over the past three years – i.e. more than half. Of the remaining 514 “potential terrorists,” a large number are currently serving prison sentences or are in custody pending deportation.”
