Paris police have banned the Rencontre annuelle des musulmans de France (RAMF), scheduled for April 3 to 6, 2026, at the Paris-Le Bourget exhibition centre. The decision, requested by Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, aims to prevent public order disturbances amid heightened national and international tensions and a high terrorism threat level. The event, billed as Europe’s largest Muslim gathering, was expected to draw tens of thousands of visitors.
Paris police have announced the ban on the Rencontre annuelle des musulmans de France (RAMF), set for April 3 to 6, 2026, at the Paris-Le Bourget exhibition centre. Organized by the Musulmans de France federation (MF), formerly the Union des organisations islamiques de France (UOIF), the gathering marked a return after a five-year pause. It aimed to «favoriser la connaissance, le dialogue et la cohésion au sein de la société française» and was expected to attract tens of thousands of attendees.
The decision was made at the request of Interior Minister Laurent Nunez. Authorities cited a «contexte national et international marqué par des tensions accrues» and a «niveau de menace terroriste élevé», assessing risks of «troubles à l’ordre public». This preventive measure reflects ongoing security concerns.
Billed as «le plus grand rassemblement musulman d’Europe», the event will not proceed as planned. Organizers have not yet publicly responded to the ban, based on available information.
