Omar Ben Laden Banned from France Over Terrorism Allegations

The son of Osama bin Laden faces a two-year ban from returning to France after being accused of promoting terrorism on social media.

Omar Ben Laden, who lived in Normandy from 2018 to 2023, has been banned from entering France following accusations of glorifying terrorism.
The French Interior Minister, Bruno Retailleau, announced the ban, citing concerns over public order and national security.
Ben Laden allegedly shared content on social media that praised Al-Qaeda, which he denies, claiming his accounts were misused.
Despite leaving France voluntarily in 2023, the administrative ban prevents his return for two years, with legal challenges ongoing.
Supporters argue that Ben Laden, now residing in Qatar, has distanced himself from his father's ideology and lives a peaceful life as an artist.
