"I am the subject of genuine judicial and political harassment solely because of my political views. This pattern of harassment began as soon as I entered politics."
"Since the start of the Gaza war, tensions have been high in France, a country that is home to western Europe's largest Jewish population as well as a significant Muslim community."
"Ms. Hassan's tweet is serious, and several Jewish organisations had filed a legal complaint regarding her comments."
Rima Hassan, a French-Palestinian MEP, is facing trial in July for allegedly promoting terrorism through a social media post. She claims this is judicial harassment linked to her political views. Born in a Syrian refugee camp, she became the first French-Palestinian member of the European Parliament in 2024. Her party, France Unbowed, supports her, asserting she is a victim of judicial persecution. Tensions in France have escalated since the Gaza war, with Hassan often criticized for her comments and previously arrested in Israel for activism.
