France has reportedly stripped the residency permit of a man who lit a cigarette at a war memorial in Paris after he was caught on camera. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau on Tuesday called the actions of a 47-year-old Moroccan man "indecent and pathetic" following his arrest. Video footage of him lighting a cigarette beneath the much-visited Arc de Triomphe sparked outrage after it was circulated. "The man who desecrated the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier by lighting a cigarette with the memorial flame was arrested in Paris for violating a burial site, tomb, urn, or monument erected in memory of the dead. He was taken into custody and admitted the facts," Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau wrote on X.

Never."Original article source: France strips residency from 47-year-old Moroccan man who lit cigarette at Arc de Triomphe war memorial
