Son of Osama bin Laden deported, banned from France: What we know
French authorities have deported Omar bin Laden, son of Osama bin Laden, and banned him from returning to the country.
Omar bin Laden, son of Osama bin Laden, was deported from France and is banned from returning over statements advocating terrorism on social media.
French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau announced Tuesday on X that he had issued an administrative order against "Omar bin Laden, the eldest son of international terrorist Osama bin Laden," banning him from French soil. The post read that Omar bin Laden, "who has lived in the Orne region for several years as the spouse of a British national, posted comments on his social networks in 2023 that advocated terrorism. As a result, the Prefect of Orne issued an order for him to leave French territory, and obtained his departure."
The French interior minister added that a court confirmed the legality of this decision, "taken in the interests of national security. The administrative ban on entry ensures that Mr. bin Laden cannot return to France for any reason whatsoever."
