Alarabiya: France adopted Tuesday an anti-terrorism law which will slap a travel ban on anyone suspected of planning to wage jihad after the upper house Senate gave its final stamp of approval, Agence France-Presse reported.
The travel ban included in the law will see suspects have their passports and ID cards confiscated for six months, with the measure renewable for up to two years.
It also brings in punishment for “lone wolves” who plan terrorist attacks on their own, and allows authorities to block entry to any EU citizen or their relatives if their presence in France constitutes a threat.
The law comes as authorities are increasingly worried about the number of French citizens travelling to fight in Iraq and Syria who could potentially come back and stage attacks in their home country.
But while the majority of senators approved the bill, those from the Green and far-right parties abstained while the Communists voted against it over fears it will curtail freedoms.

In Switzerland there is a law prohibiting to join a foreign military. I think however that there is a ‘loop-hole’, because the law assumes that you would join for instance the French Foreign Legion and not a ‘non-state-militia’. The law should be adjusted to today’s world.
