FIDH Report on Repression of Solidarity Movement with Palestine
The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) has published a report on violations of fundamental freedoms in the context of the solidarity movement with Palestine.
Titled Criminalisation and Narrative Control: Solidarity with Palestine in the Crosshairs, the report documents the repression of dissenting voices under the guise of maintaining public order, fighting antisemitism, or protecting national security.
- Shrinking of civic space
- Weakening of democratic safeguards
- Normalisation of Islamophobia
- Institutionalisation of racial profiling
Behind the fight against hate, a trend of repressing dissenting voices is emerging.
Authorities have resorted to exceptional measures such as bans on demonstrations, arbitrary arrests, repression within academic institutions, media censorship, and legislative threats.
