France bars 1,000 since border controls in place since Paris attacks

Nearly 1,000 people have been barred from entering France since border controls were put in place just after the Paris terror attacks, the French interior minister said.

Bernard Cazeneuve, speaking in the eastern city of Strasbourg, said that nearly 15,000 police, gendarmes and customs officials are manning France’s borders, notably the borders with Belgium, where the three teams of attackers started their deadly journey, and Germany.

One hundred and thirty people died in the November 13 attacks.

The borders were re-enforced in the run-up to the COP21 climate talks that start on Monday and in the wake of the attacks.

Mr Cazeneuve noted the “very high threat level” that has yet to abate.

Besides those barred from entering France, 300 people have been placed under house arrest as part of a state of emergency.

Two dozen of the 300 are considered potential threats to public order during the two-week climate summit.
