French-Palestinian MEP Rima Hassan denounces 'judicial harassment' as court case looms over social media post

European Parliament member Rima Hassan faces legal proceedings over a social media post that authorities claim promotes terrorism. The French-Palestinian politician contests the charges, characterizing the case as judicial persecution. The trial centers on her X post mentioning a historical 1972 terror attack in Israel carried out by a Japanese individual. Hassan argues the post was misinterpreted and denies any intent to support terrorism, raising concerns about freedom of expression for elected officials.
