Founded in 2010, this humanitarian association was one of the structures in the crosshairs of the authorities since the assassination of Professor Samuel Paty.
At issue: messages from its president, Driss Yemmou, said Idriss Sihamedi, which could be "characterized as apological for acts of terrorism", the Interior Ministry said in a document.
He "incited hatred, maintained relations within the radical Islamist movement, took pleasure in justifying terrorist acts", argued the Minister of the Interior.
