Court Upholds Ban on Pro-Palestine Group in Duisburg

The group is accused of supporting Hamas and propagating anti-Israel sentiments, leading to the confiscation of its assets.

The Oberverwaltungsgericht (OVG) in North Rhine-Westphalia confirmed the ban on the Palästina Solidarität Duisburg (PSDU) group, citing its support for Hamas.
The court ruled that PSDU's activities were against the principles of international understanding and promoted hate against Israel.
PSDU's assets have been seized by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia following the ban.
The group's attempts to overturn the ban through an emergency application were rejected by the court.
The ban includes prohibitions on using the group's symbols and forming any successor organizations.
