On Wednesday, It is stated by the country’s minister that France will be inspecting around 76 mosques in the coming days in a vast and unprecedented operation against separatism.

The state services will control and monitor around 76 places of Muslim worship, as told by Gerald Darmanin. There are 16 and 60 in France’s rest in the Paris region, and they may shut down some of the mosques. At Daramanins request, 18 will be targeted by immediate actions.

According to the Le Figaro newspaper, Circular was sent to the country governed by Darmanin to inspect the mosques.
