A Chechen refugee in France, who previously faced restrictions due to alleged 'pro-Jihadist' associations, was allowed to appeal court orders that prohibited him from leaving Strasbourg. The case highlights concerns about security measures and surveillance at Christmas markets following a recent deadly attack in Germany.

A French soldier stands guard near a closed wooden shop at the traditional Christkindelsmaerik (Christ Child market) in front of the Cathedral the day after a shooting in Strasbourg, France, Dec 12, 2018.PARIS — The first time French police informed the Chechen refugee that he was prohibited from leaving the northeastern city of Strasbourg and must check in with them daily, he did not think it worth contesting the order.

France was in the midst of a massive security operation for the summer Olympic Games, he explained, and he did not think authorities would listen to someone identified as a potential threat because of interactions with people identified as 'pro-Jihadist.' But when the Ministry of Interior extended the order in late August to help protect a famed Christmas market that was the target of a deadly attack in 2018, the refugee, known to friends as Khaled, appealed to the city's administrative court. A panel of judges concluded the measures were 'disproportionate', saying in an Oct 3 decision seen by Reuters that he has no criminal record and was not under investigation for any crime. While they kept in place a prohibition on attending the Strasbourg Christmas market, they lifted the other measures. But the ruling came too late for the 20-year-old to enrol in a college where he was due to start a cybersecurity course in September, according to evidence submitted by his lawyer. 'I lost my place. This year has gone to waste,' Khaled told Reuters, speaking on condition that he be identified by the nickname, because he fears his academic and career aspirations would be derailed if it becomes known he is being monitored by police. Friday's (Dec 20) deadly car-ramming attack at a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg has prompted renewed scrutiny in a number of European countries of security arrangements for the seasonal markets, which draw large crowd
