"On Tuesday, territorial bans were issued against 10 British nationals, identified as activists within the movement and having carried out actions on French soil, the interior ministry said. In a post on X it said: Our rule of law is non-negotiable. Violent and hate inciting tactics have no place in our territory. The 10 people who have been banned have not been named and the actions that led to the ban have not been specified."
"A spokesperson said: Raise the Colours is aware of public statements made today by the French interior ministry referring to administrative measures relating to certain individuals identified as members of Raise the Colours. At the time of issuing this statement, no formal notification has been received by Raise the Colours regarding any administrative measures. We understand that the statements refer to administrative decisions concerning specific individuals, rather than the organisation as a whole."
France's interior ministry issued territorial bans against 10 British nationals identified as activists linked to Raise the Colours after they carried out actions on French soil. The ministry stated that the rule of law is non-negotiable and that violent and hate-inciting tactics have no place in its territory. The banned individuals were not named and the specific actions prompting the bans were not detailed. Rising Channel crossings and 41,000 arrivals in 2025 have fuelled anti-migrant rhetoric and far-right harassment. Raise the Colours called the bans disgraceful, said no formal notification had been received, and asserted its activities remain peaceful and lawful.
