The unyielding rebellious euroskeptic was summoned this morning for “apology of terrorism” after synthetic drugs were found in her bag. “The political police once again summoned Rima Hassan for an issue regarding a retweet from March,” lamented Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the Insoumis. “There is no more parliamentary immunity in France. Intolerable.” The MEP Rima Hassan was called in on Thursday for apologizing terrorism. The cause: a post from March 26, which has since been deleted.
On the same social network, Matthias Renault, National Rally MP from Somme, reported having informed the public prosecutor and relayed the remarks of the rebellious one: “Kôzô Okamoto: I devoted my youth to the Palestinian cause. As long as there is oppression, resistance will not only be a right, but a duty.” The RN MP emphasized that Kôzô Okamoto, former member of the Japanese Red Army, was sentenced to life imprisonment for participating in the massacre of 26 people at Ben-Gurion International Airport in Israel in 1972.
In Rima Hassan’s bag this morning, the police found drugs. An incidental procedure has been initiated. “After the media and political witch hunt, the organized disinformation campaigns from Israel: the rage against Palestinian activists in France continues in police stations,” regretted Clémence Guetté, vice-president of the National Assembly.
“The pressure continues to increase on those who denounce the genocide in Gaza and the colonization in Palestine,” she said. Manon Aubry, also a rebellious MEP, ensures that “no intimidation will silence the voices in defense of Palestine!” Nathalie Arthaud, spokeswoman for Lutte Ouvrière, expressed her “solidarity” towards Rima Hassan.
“Not only pro-terrorist and anti-Republican, but also drugged,” bluntly commented Cannes Mayor David Lisnard. “It is no longer the lifting of her parliamentary immunity that should be requested, but the dismissal from her duties as a European MEP,” demanded Shannon Seban, national secretary of the Republicans.
Marion Maréchal, nationalist MEP, denounced La France Insoumise as a “Narco-party.” “Andy Kerbrat and Rima Hassan, the drug addicts, Louis Boyard the dealer, drug traffickers celebrating victory in Creil or being arrested at a rally in Saint-Denis, an anti-police ideology demanding leniency for dealers, number 1 among inmates in elections,” she listed.
Rima Hassan is known for her strong stance against Israel and her open support for the Palestinian cause. She was previously summoned by the court for “apology of terrorism” on April 30 for stating that Hamas was carrying out “legitimate action.” “If Franco-Israelis are allowed to serve in the Israeli army while enjoying the benefits of dual nationality, every Franco-Palestinian should be able to join the armed Palestinian resistance, whose legitimacy is recognized by UN resolutions on the right to self-determination of peoples,” she reiterated last December.
