Nearly 1,000 ‘security risks’ denied entry to France since Paris attacks (Photo)
Nearly 1,000 people thought to pose security risks have
been denied entry into France since stepped-up border controls were
imposed ahead of the COP21 climate talks on November 13, just hours
before the Paris attacks, the interior minister said Saturday.
They were prevented from entering France “because of the risk these
people could represent for public order and security in our country,”
Be
rnard Cazeneuve said during a visit to the northeastern city of
Strasbourg.
He said nearly 15,000 police, gendarmes and customs agents have been deployed to the borders.
The aim of the boosted controls is to enable the authorities to
reinforce security as the COP21 climate talks officially get under way
in Paris on Monday and also to confront the high terrorist threat level
facing the country, Cazeneuve said, adding that they would make any
necessary arrests.
A few hours after the tougher border controls ahead of the climate
talks took effect on November 13, extremists carried a series of attacks
at several sites in Paris, killing 130 people.
The French government, which has declared a state of emergency, said
it would continue the increased border security as long as the terrorist
threat remains high.
