Ghassan Abu Sitta, a surgeon of British and Palestinian nationality, was denied entry into France this Saturday by the country’s border police. The doctor had been in the Gaza Strip for a month and a half, where he witnessed several atrocities committed by the Israeli army, and was planning to speak this afternoon at a conference organized in the French Senate, the newspaper reported. Le Monde.
According to the same publication, French police explained that they did not allow Ghassan Abu Sitta to enter because German authorities had banned the doctor from entering any Schengen country for a year.
“The police have made their decision, there is nothing more I can do. It’s like in Berlin: criminalization of victims. The group behind the genocide is trying to silence witnesses,” the surgeon said.
The conference organizer, European environmentalist senator for Les Verts Raymonde Ponce Monge, expressed her “total political disapproval.” The senator recalls that the environmental group contacted the office of the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin to resolve the situation in Roissy-Charles de Gaulle, but to no avail.
“How can Germany impose territorial bans throughout the Schengen area? This is incredible! This is a new stage in the repression against everything connected with Palestine,” said Raymonde Ponce Monge.
