Defendant is accused of ‘condoning the assault by Hamas’ by using slogan during protest
A Berlin court is expected to rule on the case of a pro-Palestinian activist who called out the divisive slogan “from the river to the sea” at a rally, in what supporters say is an important test case for Germany.
The trial before a district court of a German woman with Iranian heritage, identified only as Ava M, is one of several since the 7 October Hamas attacks in Israel and the destruction of Gaza that have examined Germany’s limits on free speech.
