An Egyptian-born Swiss Muslim cleric was expelled from France on Saturday for past remarks and behaviour that posed a serious threat to public order, the French Interior Ministry said in a statement. Hani Ramadan was arrested in Colmar, in northeastern France, where he was expected to take part in a conference. “Interior Minister Matthias Fekl, ordered Hani Ramadan to be returned to Switzerland this evening,” the statement said. Ramadan is known to have spoken and behaved in a way that posed a serious threat to public order, it said.
