Overview
- Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi signed a decree revoking Mohamed Shahin’s long-term permit and ordering expulsion on public-order grounds.
- The order cites Shahin’s October 9 remarks defending the October 7 attacks and his alleged role in a May protest blockade.
- Shahin was detained and moved to the Caltanissetta CPR; his lawyers filed for international protection, which by law suspends removal while authorities assess the claim.
- The Court of Appeal in Caltanissetta must rule on his detention, and his lawyers plan TAR challenges to the permit revocation and the expulsion decree.
- Supporters argue he is an Egyptian dissident at risk if returned, while right-wing figures back the expulsion and left-wing and pro‑Palestine groups protest; claims that his citizenship was revoked are not confirmed.
