Join us in solidarity with the people of Palestine

The Minister of the Interior of France has announced that he will dissolve Urgence Palestine.

This is a serious attack on the French movement against genocide in Palestine. Urgence Palestine is an organisation founded by Palestinians in exile and their allies to fight against genocide in Palestine. Urgence Palestine organizes demonstration, conferences, cultural activities, educational activities and rallies with thousands of French citizens in more than 20 groups across France.

When Genocide is occurring in Gaza with total impunity, the government of France has made its choice to increase its repression of organisations which defend the Palestinian people. This dissolution is a continuation of the penal and administrative persecution that is already attacking the solidarity movement: interdiction of demonstrations, heavy jail sentences, and now the dissolution of organisations. Already many human rights organisations  such as the United Nations Human Rights Committee have warned about the profound denial of human rights in these French gag laws.
