In October 2017, France introduced an Anti-Terrorism Bill which authorised power for officials to search homes, restrict movement and close places of worship.[22] The concept behind this bill has been commended by a United Nations human rights expert who also, on the contrary, highlights the negative influence this may have over religious freedom.[22] Additionally, Fionnuala Ni Aolain has raised concerns regarding the reinforced marginalisation of Muslims in France through the introduction of the bill.[22]
