Protest now at ⁦German Embassy London⁩ London. Protesting against the arrest and forced deportation of ⁦⁦Ghassan Abu Sitta⁩ from Germany today. Eminent surgeon. Professor at Glasgow. Treated like a criminal for being Palestinian.

Invited to address a conference in Berlin about my work in Gaza hospitals during the present conflict.
The German government has forcibly prevented me from entering the country
Silencing a witness to genocide before the ICJ adds to Germany's complicity in the ongoing massacre.

You mean my family, whose homes and lands were stolen by Zionist militias in 1948 as they burned their way through Yaffa expelling 98% of inhabitants, including to Gaza, where now my family is sheltering in a church that Israel bombed twice hoping it won’t get bombed thrice?

An outrage.

Ghassan Abu Sitta is a British-Palestinian reconstructive surgeon who witnessed the first month of the German-armed Israeli onslaught on Gaza.

Now Germany has banned him from entering to stop him offering evidence of the crimes facilitated by the German state.

Utterly shameful. Like some blind ancient protagonist, Germany is returning to the wrong side of history.

BREAKING: German police stormed the building and are demanding we stop the livestream of the Palestine Conference.

This is what democracy in Europe right now really looks like!

Dr Abu Sitta has been refused entry to Germany and faces deportation. He is a renowned surgeon who has saved countless lives in Gaza. As a German, with Jewish ancestors who fled the Holocaust, I am appalled. German Embassy London your government must apologise and re-invite now.

What a bloody marvellous woman. I bought Sweet Dreams when I was 14. I was spot-on. If others could be as brave please. No more embarrassed silence. Now is not the time. Annie Lennox
