Abu Daqqa, 71 years old, obtained an Entry Visa to France (for 50 days), whilst in Jerusalem at the beginning of last August, in order to go to France, where she was scheduled to participate in various Conferences on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Abu Daqqa arrived in France last September, and participated in two Conferences despite the restrictions imposed on her after campaigns aimed at banning her public activity. She also participated in a movement to release George Ibrahim Abdullah – the Lebanese Detainee – held in French prisons over the last 40 years.
On October 16th, Abu Daqqa was arrested in the city of Marseille, Southern France, before heading to the city of Toulouse – based on an Order from Interior Minister Girald Darmanin – with the intention that Abu Daqqa be Deported.
