'This is not justice' - two Irish citizens say they are facing deportation from Germany after taking part in pro-Palestinian protests

Shane O'Brien and Roberta Murray face deportation from Germany after being accused of supporting Hamas slogans during pro-Palestinian protests. Their deportation, ordered by the Berlin Senate Department, has been characterized by the group as a politically motivated act to suppress dissent. The Department of Foreign Affairs is aware of their situation and offers assistance as the group claims the deportations represent a broader silencing of pro-Palestinian voices, particularly targeting those from Palestinian, Muslim, and Arab communities. Police violence and political pressure are cited as factors contributing to their situation.

This deportation is a political act-an attempt to intimidate an entire movement. By stripping us of our freedom of movement, Germany intensifies its repression of pro-Palestinian voices.

Berlin's Senate Department for the Interior and Sport has ordered our expulsion, accusing us of antisemitism and supporting terrorist organisations linked to Hamas and its front organisations.
