Overview

• Lawyer Delphine Boesel pleaded in emergency hearings for two clients contesting their transfer to the Vendin‑le‑Vieil QLCO, calling the placements an "error of casting."
• Two additional cases will be examined Tuesday in Lille as administrative courts in Caen, Versailles, Amiens, Melun and Paris handle similar filings, with some requests already rejected pending full reviews.
• Roughly 88 detainees, mostly in pretrial detention and including Mohamed Amra, were moved to the new 100‑place unit between late July and early August.
• The Conseil d'État declined at the end of July to suspend the enabling decree; criminal lawyers have asked it to annul the measure, and Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin faces a complaint for abuse of authority before the CJR.
• Testimony described twice‑daily searches and harsh isolation, while the Justice Ministry argued the regime is less severe than solitary and allows family visits without a glass partition and continued correspondence courses.
