A German court has ruled that Berlin authorities unlawfully barred British-Palestinian surgeon Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta from attending a Palestine conference in April 2024.
The Berlin Administrative Court declared the immigration authorities’ actions illegal, rejecting an appeal from the state government. The court found no justification for the restrictions, emphasizing they lacked evidence of any threat to national security. This ruling is viewed as a significant victory for freedom of expression regarding pro-Palestinian discourse in Germany.
