France steps up crackdown on Palestine solidarity amid Gaza war
French authorities have banned demonstrations in support of Gaza, arrested protesters, and moved to dissolve several Palestine advocacy groups.
So much for free speech...
You don't realize to what point ! These few last weeks have been crazy in France and any point of view not aligned with the worse Israel right wing extremists has been attacked as antisemitic... A really sad period for France (BTW, I am French)
I'm from a neighbouring country. I always believed the French people stood up for what is right. It's a real shame your government is trying to silence their people =(
I hope justice will prevail.
In the meantime, french minister is in court https://lemmy.ml/post/7412396
What a country always governed by good peoples who take cares for their citizens. BDS is an illegal movement here, categorized as "terrorist" if im not wrong
And they wanted to make the boycott of products from israel illegal, close this pacifist way of denunciations.
