European Parliament member Rima Hassan taken into French police custody
"Members of La France Insoumise party condemned the detention of Rima Hassan, asserting it is part of a broader effort to intimidate supporters of Palestine and silence dissenting voices."
"Jean-Luc Melenchon stated that Hassan's detention signifies a loss of parliamentary immunity in France, calling the situation intolerable and indicative of a troubling trend against political expression."
"Hassan, a French-Palestinian lawyer and activist, has been a prominent critic of Israel's actions in Gaza, participating in a Gaza-bound flotilla intercepted by Israeli forces."
Rima Hassan, a member of the La France Insoumise party, was detained in France on suspicion of apologizing for terrorism. This detention is linked to a social media post referencing Kozo Okamoto, involved in a 1972 attack in Israel. Members of her party claim this action aims to silence Palestine supporters. A small amount of synthetic drugs was found on her during custody. Hassan, a vocal critic of Israel's actions in Gaza, has faced backlash for her advocacy and was recently denied entry to Canada.
