French Court Overturns Deportation Order for Algerian Influencer Doualemn

The tribunal ruled to annul the expulsion order, grant temporary residency, and award €1,200 for legal expenses.

The tribunal administrative of Melun annulled the obligation to leave the territory (OQTF) for Doualemn, citing procedural issues.
Doualemn, a 59-year-old Algerian influencer, had been accused of inciting violence in a TikTok video targeting an opponent of the Algerian regime.
The court mandated the French authorities to reexamine his case within three months and granted Doualemn a temporary residency permit during this period.
The court also ordered the French state to pay Doualemn €1,200 to cover his legal expenses, as stipulated by French administrative law.
The Ministry of the Interior, led by Bruno Retailleau, announced plans to appeal the decision and continue pursuing Doualemn's expulsion.
