France to revoke citizenship of dual-nationality terrorists

The French government has hardened its position towards dual-nationality terrorism convicts, saying they deserve to have their citizenship revoked as part of constitutional changes upholding the state of emergency imposed after the Paris attacks.

In a speech presenting the proposed changes, Prime Minister Manuel Valls also left open the possibility of prolonging the state of emergency beyond its current three-month window, describing an “unparalleled extraordinary situation, an unprecedented fight” that France is facing.
