UN Rapporteurs Express Concern Over 'Judicial and Political Harassment' Against French-Palestinian MEP Rima Hassan

On Monday, five UN special rapporteurs expressed 'grave concern' in a letter regarding French-Palestinian Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan, who faces multiple judicial proceedings that 'appear to involve judicial and political harassment' targeting her. The international experts' intervention comes as Hassan prepares to appear before a Paris court in October on charges of 'praising terrorism,' in a case that has sparked widespread political and judicial debate in France.
