The decision to cancel the LFI eurodeputée's event has been met with accusations of censorship and legal action.

  • Rima Hassan, a member of La France Insoumise, had her conference at Sciences Po Paris canceled due to concerns about public order.
  • The decision by Sciences Po Director Luis Vassy has led Hassan to file a legal challenge, citing censorship.
  • Hassan has previously faced similar cancellations, including events at the University of Lille and Paris-Dauphine.
  • The eurodeputée is under investigation for alleged 'apology of terrorism' following controversial statements about Hamas.
  • Despite the cancellations, previous attempts to block her events have been overturned by the courts.
