It is far from won for Dounia Filali and her husband. The Moroccan YouTuber who asks for political exile in France finds herself faced with her anti-Semitic past with many photos circulating on social networks, arousing indignation.
Claiming to be threatened, harassed and reprimanded, Dounia Filali and her husband have just submitted a request for asylum in France. The YouTuber had denounced, in a video on her account on the social network, an attempt by individuals to attack her at her home in China, announcing having received threats from Moroccans based in the Asian country and having changed place of residence.
Contrary to previous allegations, she and her husband applied for asylum in France, and not in China, where they no longer reside since last July, whereas they had previously claimed that “the High Commission for United Nations for Refugees (UNHCR) granted them political asylum in China.
However, the two opponents of the Moroccan regime have aroused the anger of the Jewish and French community, after the publication of a photo of them reproducing the famous “quenelle”. A quenelle, which we remember, had cost dearly to a certain French humorist named Dieudonné.
Even more, an article published by the newspaper Release, alludes to anti-Semitic, anti-France and racist messages which have resurfaced, published for several years by the Filali couple who, “surprisingly, enjoy the culpable indulgence of the French authorities”.
In October, the YouTuber announced to have obtained, with her husband, the status of “political refugees of the United Nations”. “I will be the first Moroccan woman to obtain political asylum from the United Nations as a journalist, with the blessing of the Chinese state”, she said.
