AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): While Muslims in western countries are discriminated and oppressed, the French government halted the activities of the four Shiite religious centers under the pretext of defending the resistance movement and the oppressed Palestinian people.
The French government announced on Wednesday that the "Al-Zahra Center," the French Shiite Federation, "the Anti-Zionist Party" and the "Marianne Network" are closed.
French Interior Minister has accused these four centers of trying to legitimize what "armed jihad" is called.
Meanwhile, French media reported that French authorities believed that the members of the four centers supported organizations like the Lebanese Hezbollah, Hamas and the Palestine Islamic Jihad.
Rapprochement with Iran has been claimed by Paris to try to exert pressure on the managers of these centers.
Where is the Islamic Center of Al-Zahra?
The Islamic Center of Al-Zahra is a cultural institution run by the French Shiites. Like many other Islamic centers in the world, the center has activities in support of the Palestinian people and against the inhumane actions of the Zionist regime.
The governor of northern France issued an order to close the al-Zahra Shiite Center in the Grande-Synthe in Dunkirk, with similar allegations. On Tuesday, October 2, 2018, the French police attacked the Shiite cultural center on the feudal excuses and inspected the site and also the houses of the members of the center on charges of terrorism, but did not get anything!
In the operation, which involved about 200 police forces, 12 of its members were attacked at a nearby location near Calais in northern France. The center's French imam, Sheikh Jamal, protsted to this move in a conversation with reporters.
