Hollande: Revoke citizenship of terrorists

French President Francois Hollande wants the constitution changed so that the government can revoke the citizenship of convicted terrorists born in France who have dual nationality.

Hollande says in a rare joint session of parliament at the Palace of Versailles that “we must be able to revoke the French citizenship of a person convicted for threatening the nations’ interest or for terrorist acts.”

Under current French law, citizenship revocation can only be applied to people who have been naturalized, if they have dual nationality.
