Following violent attacks, a state of emergency was declared and extended four times more than the normal which has impacted on human rights unreasonably. Several attacks happened between the period 2016/2017 which involved killings and where most of them were deliberate (Amnesty International, 2017). Following that, the parliament voted to extend the state of emergency which gave the police and the internal security ministry more powers. They can conduct searches to homes without the necessary judicial authorization. They can also take individuals through a process of administrative control measures to the likelihood of terrorist attacks. The facilitation of the activity is by unclear evidence which does not certify the minimum requirement for a person to be prosecuted. The state of emergency has also disproportionately inhibited the freedom to private life and the right to free movement of people.
The parliament also raised a new law to strengthen the administrative powers together with the judicial to curd terrorism. The minister of the interior along with the police are now allowed to perform regulatory control measures to people coming back from terror areas. The motive is to curb the threat that they might have adopted following their stay in such areas. The danger might be a compromise to the public security which is vital to enhancing internal coherence (Amnesty International, 2017). On the rights inhibition, the parliament also raised the rule to stop access to websites alleged to be inciting and encouraging terrorism.

That will be unless the sites are consulted in a motive to do research or other positive activities like good faith or informing the public about events of the terrorists. The purpose of the above activities is to improve the internal security. However, vague definitions of the laws raised increases the possibility of prosecution of those people trying to exercise freedom of expression and information.
The inhibition of the rights has touched even the refugees and migrants. They are currently faced with relocation from the jungle to reception centers. The restriction of rights to information was applied here where the authorities did not consult the asylum seekers before the relocation and also did not provide them with necessary information about it. The registration to the reception centers was done following assumptions, and many of the minors were left out following the allegation that they were seniors (Amnesty International, 2017). Those left out suffered from lack of food, shelter and medical attention during the operation which took place in several days. Though the government of France considered the reception camps and the relocation spots, the camps could not contain all the asylums which left others suffering from degrading conditions. Rejection of asylum application of people from areas with terror attacks following the law on curbing the threats that they might bring in the country.
The police and internal security despite having been allowed to exercise disproportionate power are also entitled to stop demonstrations. Freedom of expression is inhibited here to prevent the likelihood of terrorists taking advantage of the situation to carry out destructive activities (Amnesty International, 2017). During the restrictions of the demonstrations, the individuals are taken through administrative measures to vet them and eliminate terrorists from the country. Discrimination against the communities not recognized as indigenous has also been happening to those deemed as having a relationship with terrorists. That followed a relocation of Roma people without consultation which is more similar to the allocation of asylums. However, the Roma people are being hit that as a result of the authorities taking them as outcasts who do not fit to be citizens of that country.
