French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira has stepped down from her job, shortly before MPs are due to debate plans to strip people convicted of terrorism of their citizenship.

Ms Taubira was known to disagree with the
controversial proposals,
The citizenship plans were put forward after the
13 November Paris attacks in which 130 people
were murdered.
"Sometimes staying on is resisting, sometimes
resisting means leaving," she tweeted.
Ms Taubira, one of France's few senior black
politicians, has been replaced by Jean-Jacques
Urvoas who is seen as a supporter of the
constitutional change.
Born in French Guiana, Ms Taubira has suffered
racist taunts from the far-right during her time as
justice minister.

A communique from the Elysee Palace said that
President Francois Hollande had accepted the
justice minister's decision to resign.
"They agreed on the need to bring her role to an
end at a time when debate on constitutional
revision begins in the National Assembly, today,"
the statement read.
President Hollande also praised her part in
pushing through same-sex marriage laws.
Last month the justice minister made plain her
distaste of the plan to strip citizens with dual
nationality of their French citizenship, arguing it "
would not help the fight against terrorism in any
way".
However, she appeared beside Prime Minister
Valls when he announced the proposals. Mr Valls
has described the reform as a "strong symbolic
act against those who have excluded themselves
from the national community".
