Stop genocidu v Palestini / Stop genocide in Palestine - press conference in Ljubljana

A media conference at the square in front of the Parliament building was called for Friday 21 of May 2021 about the ongoing terror of the regime of apartheid and occupation in Palestine. Already an hour before the event was to start the heavy police forces harrased people on the streets of Ljubljana. Individuals, families and small groups were clearly and obviously racially profiled and subjected to police procedures. The police targeted the self-organized migrant social center Ambasada Rog. Several squads of police in full riot-gear occupied the park next to the social center and surrounded the people with Palestinian flags and headscarves, then others that were with them. Bamboo sticks that were meant to carry the flags were designated by the police as 'dangerous items'. Despite all the harrasment from the police a lot of people gathered at the main square. Speeches were held as well as personal testimonies, poetry and a lot of solidarity chants in support of the Palestinians. More
