France banned a gathering of Muslims that was planned in the Paris area for the coming days, due to it representing a security risk, the country’s top police officer said on Thursday (April 2, 2026).
“At the request of the Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, I have issued an order prohibiting the 40th edition of the Annual Meeting of Muslims of France, from April 3 to April 6 at the Paris–Le Bourget Exhibition Centre,” the Paris Police Chief Patrice Faure said in a post on X.

presence on the streets in the coming days,” he said. The decision comes after France increased security at sensitive sites across Paris after a foiled bomb attack on Bank of America’s offices last weekend, in the wake of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
Asked to comment on the situation, Makhlouf Mameche, head of the organisation that planned the event, confirmed the banning order and added his organisation would be making a legal appeal against the decision.
