Salah Abdeslam, the last surviving member of the Islamic State cell responsible for the 2015 Paris attacks, has been moved from custody in Belgium back to France.

Abdeslam had previously been convicted in Belgium for planning subsequent attacks in Brussels and his transfer back to France to serve his French prison sentence was initially blocked on human rights grounds.

French jihadi Salah Abdeslam, sentenced to life in prison for the 2015 Paris attacks, has been transferred from Belgium back to France.

Abdeslam had fled to Brussels after the attacks and was arrested in 2016, convicted of terrorism and murder in 2022, and spent most of his time in custody in France.

Salah Abdeslam, the only surviving member of the ISIS cell behind the 2015 Paris attacks, has been transferred from Belgium to France to continue serving his prison sentence.

Abdeslam's transfer had been blocked by an appeals court on human rights grounds, but has now been approved. His lawyers argue that he should serve his sentence in Belgium instead.
