Accused of Salafism and posing a threat to national security, Moroccan imam Mohamed Badaoui, head of the Islamic community of Reus (Tarragona), was expelled from Spain on November 20. He is demanding the police reports on which the justice system based its decision to order his expulsion.

The Moroccan Salafist Mohamed Said Badaoui , detained for a month at the Foreigners’ Detention Center (CIE) in Barcelona, was expelled to Morocco by the Spanish authorities on Saturday.

The Spanish justice system has ordered the expulsion of Moroccan Salafist Mohamed Badaoui , accused of jihadist indoctrination and radicalization of minors in the Muslim community of Reus (Tarragona) of which he is the leader.

The police arrested on Tuesday Mohamed Saïd Badaoui, head of the Islamic community of Reus (Tarragona), accused of being a threat to national security. The Moroccan activist, threatened with expulsion, was placed in custody at the La Verneda police station in Barcelona.
