German ban on Samidoun

Studies by human rights organizations confirm what activists have warned: in Europe, and especially in Germany, fundamental rights are under attack with regard to Palestine.

Activists spoke to Peoples Dispatch about the crackdown on Palestine solidarity groups and how the recent bans may set a dangerous precedent

Samidoun is an international organization, working for the cause of Palestinian prisoners. On the 2nd of November, Samidoun was banned by the Ministry of Interior in Germany.

As thousands took to the streets in Germany, people’s movements condemned the government’s crackdown on solidarity with Palestine. They also spoke out against the Olaf Scholz government’s complicity in Israel’s war on Gaza
