    Authorities in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosí recently arrested two people linked to a Facebook page critical of the local government under a new AI law that human rights groups warn is being used to curb political dissent. San Luis Potosí's Attorney General's Office released a statement May 22 saying the women had been arrested over content suspected of harming "the image, honour, public reputation and moral integrity" of an...

  7. #Germany seeks to #deport #protesters

    Submitted by webadmin on 9 April, 2025

    "The German state has issued deportation orders for three #EUCitizens and one #American who have attended #ProPalestinian protests.

    "Berlin immigration authorities issued the orders on 31 March, demanding that the four individuals leave Germany within one month or else face deportation. Their orders cite a protest in October 2024 in which masked individuals caused 'significant property damage, including #graffiti', as well as resisting arrest and calling a #police officer a '#fascist'.

    "Unusually, three of the four orders also invoke the German principle of #Staatsräson, (“#StateReason”). This term originates from a speech #AngelaMerkel gave to the #IsraeliKnesset in 2008, asserting that #Israeli security was fundamental to the purpose of the German state.

    "Staatsräson is not an officially defined term or codified anywhere in the German constitution or by German courts. At least two of the protestors are appealing the decision, with their lawyer telling Al-Monitor that it is a 'political concept, not a legal concept, and therefore unlawful'.

    "In any case, the #deportation of #activists for #protesting should be opposed.

    #Khalil

    "The activists’ lawyer has drawn parallels to the case of #MahmoudKhalil in the US. 'I see similarities… It is weaponization of #ImmigrationLaw as a tool to silence #PoliticalDissent'. Khalil’s case may also lead to a debate on interpretations of the US constitution’s #FirstAmendment.

    "Back in February, #Berlin police broke up a protest, citing a ban on '#ArabicChanting', the playing of #ArabicMusic, or giving a speech in #Arabic. In October 2024, police raided the homes of five men, four of whom were being investigated over 'authorship of #antisemitic social media posts'.

    Clapping

    "And after the joint Israeli-Palestinian documentary #NoOtherLand won an Academy Award, German culture minister Claudia Roth insisted that she was only clapping for Israeli director Yuval Abraham, not Palestinian director #BaselAdra. Several politicians, including the mayor of Berlin, called for her resignation. A torrent of public criticism was aimed at #YuvalAbraham for his acceptance speech, to which he responded: 'To stand on German soil as the son of Holocaust survivors and call for a ceasefire — and to then be labelled as antisemitic is not only outrageous, it is also literally putting Jewish lives in danger.'

    "Israeli politicians cited German politicians when attacking the filmmakers themselves, and only weeks later, co-director #HamdanBallal was attacked by #IsraeliSettlers in the #WestBank, and removed from an ambulance by #IDF soldiers.

    "German Staatsräson is less about assuring Israel’s right to exist, and more about giving a free hand to the #repressive policies of the Israeli right."

  9. Building a #DualState need not end in #genocide: Vladimir #Putin’s #Russia & #LeeKuanYew’s #Singapore have followed the same model of the dual state that Fraenkel described, though neither has undertaken a mass-killing operation as the Nazis did [Putin has, just not within Russian borders on a genocidal scale]. Their deepest similarity, rather, is that both are intolerant of #PoliticalDissent & leave the overwhelming majority of citizens alone.

  11. There’s a lot of misinformation going around about what’s happening in Iran. That the 15,000 protesters said to be facing a death sentence is false. But it’s true.

    There is one dictator who will decide their fate. U.S. attorney Elica Le Bon explains Iranian law against political dissent, why these people will likely die, and why we should all be rising in support to save their lives.
