Three-year-old boy arrested as suspected terrorist in France

-

A three-year-old was arrested as a suspected terrorist and held at a French police station for more than two hours, it emerged today. 

The child – identified only as Daniel – is the son of an illegal immigrant from the Paris suburb of Juvisy. 

Last Thursday the pair were arrested as they returned to their car after visiting a leisure centre. 

Police officer claimed they were carrying out routine vehicle checks before arrested both father and son. 

They were taken to Juvisy Police Station where, after 20 minutes, they were split up. 

The father, who is from a North African background, was questioned about links to radical groups possibly linked to Islamic terrorism. Both he and Daniel were formally placed under investigation. 

Daniel’s mother then arrived at the station and Daniel was finally released after two hours,  but local social services said he was in a ‘severely traumatised state after his ordeal.’ 

A spokesman said: ‘He can’t sleep and he’s crying constantly. He’s a terrified little boy. The whole thing has been an absolute nightmare for him.’ 

Representatives of the RESF (Réseau Education Sans Frontières), a charity which campaigns for the rights of foreign children without official papers, visited the police station for an explanation but were told to leave.

They claimed that detectives had broken articles nine and 37 of the International Convention of Children’s Rights which stipulate that a child should not be separated from his parents, and that no child should be deprived of his liberty in an arbitrary manner. 

A Juvisy police spokesman said: ‘This matter is being dealt with. We have no further comment to make.’
