Spanish authorities on Thursday expelled Noureddine Ziani, a Moroccan who heads the Union of Islamic Cultural Centers in Catalonia, for allegedly being a “threat to national security”.But Ziani’s supporters suspect that the real motivation for his deportation is due to his work as liaison to the Muslim community for an organization that promotes independence for Catalonia.
Ramon Tremosa, a European MP from the Catalan party Convergencia I unio (Convergence and Union) said on Sunday he intended to submit “question-complaint” to the European Commission against the expulsion of Noureddine Ziani, according to Spanish news agency EFE.
