French justice minister Christiane Taubira resigns

In France, Justice Minister Christiane Taubira has resigned, blaming a major political disagreement with her government. Taubira stepped down from her job shortly before anti-terrorism proposals that she disagreed with went before parliament. 

If passed, the laws would mean that people who



are convicted of terrorism offences are stripped of citizenship. The plans were put forward after the November 13th Paris attacks in which 130 people were murdered. Many of the Islamist militants who carried out attacks in France and have joined the Islamic State group have had dual citizenship.
