French Anti-Terror Measures Restrict Movements of Minorities During Paris Olympics

Over 500 individuals, many from immigrant backgrounds, face daily police check-ins and travel bans to prevent potential threats.

French authorities use discretionary anti-terror powers to restrict movements of those deemed security risks.
Many affected individuals have backgrounds in former French colonies and face daily police reporting requirements.
The measures, unprecedented in scope, aim to prevent attacks during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Critics argue the restrictions are overly broad and target people with tenuous links to extremism.
Legal challenges against these measures are ongoing, with some successfully overturned in court.
