France expels Tunisian, citing severe threat to public safety

France has expelled a Tunisian man, the interior ministry said, citing a “severe threat” to public safety as the country remained on high alert a month after Nice attacks that killed 85 people.
A ministry statement gave no detailed reason for the expulsion of the Tunisian, Mohsen M’Hadi, which brought the total number of deportations of this kind to four in August.
A spokesman for the interior ministry was not immediately available for comment. The Socialist government’s security record has attracted strong criticism from opposition politicians, less than a year before presidential elections.
