Leftist MEP Rima Hassan says her terrorism trial is about silencing pro-Palestinian voices
French Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan faces trial for sharing a quote attributed to Kōzō Okamoto, a militant linked to a 1972 Israeli airport attack, which prosecutors allege constitutes an apology for terrorism. Hassan argues the case is politically motivated and aims to silence pro-Palestinian voices, emphasizing her advocacy for Palestinian rights and resistance philosophy.
