This procedure, which should be used only “Last appeal”illustrious “The continuous degradation of freedoms of expression, association and peaceful meeting in France”judge the NGO.
Palestine emergency says it gathered “Citizens, organizations and associative, union and political movements mobilized for the self -determination of the Palestinian people”and regularly organizes demonstrations, sometimes prohibited by the authorities – which Amnesty International also denounced.
