France will release some 450 radical Islamic extremists from prison by the end of next year including 50 considered terror threats.
“We have about 500 detainees who are radicalised as Islamist terrorists, out of those 500 there will be about 20 of them coming out this year, and then about 30 next year,” France’s Minister of Justice Nicole Belloubet confirmed.
The minister added that around 30 per cent of the current radicalised prison population, some 450 people, were also set to be put back on the streets by the end of next year, Le Figaro reports.
“The government is bent on monitoring these people,” Ms. Belloubet said.
