Bucharest Court of Appeal declared three Pakistani nationals undesirable for 10 years after the SRI identified activities constituting threats to national security.
Radicalised Pakistanis expelled from Romania following SRI referral
On 10 November 2026, a court in Bucharest ordered three Pakistani citizens, identified as T.M.A., I.A. and A.M., to be declared undesirable persons on Romanian territory for a period of 10 years, according to Cotidianul.ro.
The decision was taken following a referral by the Prosecutor's Office attached to Bucharest Court of Appeal, based on information transmitted by the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI).
The three came to the attention of the SRI at the beginning of 2026, after the service established that they were engaged in activities which, according to the anti-terrorism legal framework, constituted threats to national security. They were noted for opinions and behaviour typical of persons at an advanced stage of the radicalisation process.
According to the SRI, the three validated and mutually reinforced each other's radical ideas, jointly accessing terrorist propaganda materials and content with strong emotional impact.
"Given the matters mentioned, the SRI took action with the aim of preventing the materialisation of threats to national security, resulting from the presence and activities carried out on the territory of our country by the three Pakistani citizens," states the institution's statement.
In the course of the operation, SRI officers cooperated with the Prosecutor's Office attached to Bucharest Court of Appeal and with the Ministry of Internal Affairs – General Inspectorate for Immigration. The SRI exercises, in this context, the role of national authority in the field of prevention and combating terrorism, collaborating with institutions from the National System for Prevention and Combating Terrorism, as well as external partners.
