French Eurodeputy Rima Hassan Faces New Legal Complaint for Alleged Terrorism Advocacy
The complaint, filed by the Observatoire Juif de France, cites Hassan's social media posts referencing Palestinian armed resistance.
- Rima Hassan, a French Eurodeputy from the LFI party, is facing a second legal complaint for alleged 'apologie du terrorisme' (advocating terrorism).
- The complaint, filed on December 30, 2024, by the Observatoire Juif de France, focuses on Hassan's social media posts supporting Palestinian armed resistance.
- A December 18 post by Hassan argued that Franco-Palestinians should have the right to join armed resistance, citing UN resolutions on self-determination.
- Critics claim the post indirectly legitimizes the Hamas organization, classified as a terrorist group by France and the European Union.
- Hassan has dismissed the accusations as politically motivated, alleging a campaign by pro-Israel groups to silence her views.
