Tougher new anti-jihadist laws for France amid growing Middle East crisis.

Tougher new anti-jihadist laws for France amid growing Middle East crisis.(RT).

The bill, if approved, will ban terrorist suspects from international travel as well as websites that recruit radicals.

Individuals who are suspected of terrorism will be banned from traveling abroad for up to six months, says the draft bill to be presented on Wednesday. The passports of the suspects may also be confiscated for some time or invalidated.

"The objective of this bill is to increase the number of hurdles to discourage those who want to go and to stop them [from] actually going," an Interior Ministry source said, reported French outlets.

Also the law, if approved, says that the airlines will have to inform the country’s authorities about the alleged radicalized individuals the moment they make a reservation on the flight. The airlines will also be banned from taking on board such suspects.

If those suspected of having firm links to a jihadist network, still manage to leave the country, they will be issued  an international warrant, says the draft bill.

The ban will be determined by the country’s Interior Minister, Bernard Cazeneuve. It will also be prolonged if required.

The law will also include measures towards the sites with online recruitment of people for jihad. French authorities may demand internet service providers block access to those sites "that provoke acts of terrorism or praise them," even without a judge’s approval, says the draft bill. The investigators will be also allowed to use pseudonyms on the pro-terrorist websites.

"France will not tolerate messages calling for or glorifying jihad to be shown on its soil with impunity," the draft document says.

So called ‘lone wolves’ – those with individual terrorism plans - will also be charged under the new legislation. The punishment will also be applied to those who are associated with a group suspected of planning or staging terrorist acts.

Also the authorities may hold and question individuals on "suspicion of conspiring in relation to terrorism," even if the evidence against them is insubstantial. This measure aims to catch potential jihadists or those who may have very slight connections with the radical groups.

Hmmm........Somehow i don't think they'll ask the 'permission' to travel........and they don't need it ! There are no inner borders in Europe once they get to Spain or Turkey there are enough 'ways' to cross the border and get in to the Middle East.
