We are deeply concerned about reports of police intervention at #PalestineCongress & that invited speaker Dr Ghassan Abu Sitta was denied entry to #Germany .
These serious risks to freedom of expression & discrimination must urgently be investigated by German authorities.
“Anyone who spreads Islamist propaganda and hatred against Jews must know that this will be prosecuted quickly and consistently.”
So … they arrested … a Jüdische Stimme für gerechten Frieden in Nahost Jew?
IHRA definition in practice: Senatskanzlei Berlin Kai Wegner says 'hate for Israel has no place in Berlin.' But Polizei Berlin shut down #palaestinakongress and detained Jewish head of Jüdische Stimme für gerechten Frieden in Nahost for alleged 'risk of antisemitic comments.'
Berlin mayor: 'I would like to thank Polizei Berlin for their decisive intervention at this hate event. We made it clear what rules apply in Berlin. We made it clear that hatred of Israel has no place in Berlin.'
#palaestinakongress
BREAKING
German police are now arresting people outside the building where the event was taking place. Those arrested include Udi Raz from Jewish Voice for Peace.
Disgusting behaviour from the police, but unfortunately not surprising!

'Due to legal checks in connection with speeches, the livestream of the assembly will be temporarily interrupted by switching off the power. We ask for your patience.'
#palaestinakongress
Berlin police appear to enter and interrupt the Palestine Conference, allegedly to review comments by Salman Abu-Sitta, who was less than two minutes into remarks via livestream.
This is what he was saying at the time: youtube.com/live/I4kiqhjiU… twitter.com/redstreamnet/s…

'They're doing this to intimidate people, to stop people from speaking up for Palestinian rights.'
