Franco-Palestinian activist and LFI candidate for the European elections Rima Hassan is summoned by the judicial police for “apology of terrorism”announced the activist and La France insoumise, Friday April 19, on their X accounts. She will be heard freely on Tuesday April 30. This summons comes after the cancellation then the ban of a conference on “Palestinian news”, Thursday, which had reignited tensions on the left.
“We learn with total amazement of the summons by the judicial police of Rima Hassan, candidate on the Popular Union list, for an incredible reason: apology for terrorism”for its part wrote La France insoumise in a press release published on the social network “new unacceptable intimidation” Who “confirms an attempt to intimidate and criminalize all voices raised in the face of the ongoing massacres in Gaza.”
The main person concerned also spoke, expressing her “stupefaction”. “I will not allow myself to be intimidated by purely political maneuvers aimed at compromising my freedom of expression on Palestine”said Rima Hassan on X. Her lawyer published a press release in which he assured that “this situation maintains an intolerable confusion between calls for the protection of Palestinians facing the risk of genocide (…) and apologia for terrorism.”
