Paris Court Postpones Anasse Kazib’s Apology for Terrorism Trial to June 2026

Judges cited a packed docket in shifting the ruling on his tweets endorsing Palestinian resistance to mid-2026.

Overview

  • The hearing originally scheduled for June 18, 2025 was automatically deferred to June 25, 2026 due to court scheduling conflicts.
  • Prosecutors accuse Kazib of apologie du terrorisme for retweeting calls to support “la résistance palestinienne” on October 7, 2023.
  • He faces up to seven years in prison following a January 2024 complaint from the Jeunesse française juive group.
  • His defense decries the charges as criminalizing political and trade union activism and had lined up witnesses including Alain Gresh, Vanessa Codaccioni and Ilan Pappé.
  • Supporters led by La France Insoumise’s Eric Coquerel gathered outside the Paris tribunal in a solidarity rally at midday.
