Overview
- Territorial bans issued on Tuesday block 10 activists linked to Raise the Colours from entering or remaining in France.
- Officials say the group searched for and destroyed small boats and ran propaganda on the northern coast, citing social‑media footage of such actions.
- Authorities have not publicly identified the 10 individuals and referred the matter to local officials over risks of serious public‑order disturbances.
- An investigation remains open into an alleged aggravated assault on migrants near Dunkirk in September following reports of men confronting a group with British flags.
- Raise the Colours denounced the ban as “absolutely disgraceful” and claims its activities are lawful, while Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said violent or hate‑inciting actions have no place in France.
