Greek airport police show their loyalty to Israel: Unacceptable arrest of Samidoun coordinator in Crete

The Greek government has surpassed all previous records in its servility towards the murderous state of Israel.

On Saturday, February 7, while an event was scheduled in Heraklion, Crete, with the participation of Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network coordinator Mohammed Khatib – active in movements across Europe – airport police illegally arrested him, and he is currently being held, most likely to be deported.

For months now, the whole world has been watching live on their screens the genocide being committed by the murderous state of Israel. In response to the bombings, murders, starvation, and torture of Palestinians by Israel, protest movements in support of the Palestinian people are erupting around the world.

The Greek government, faithful to its doctrine of servility, proceeded to arrest the coordinator of Samidoun in order to give credentials to Israel’s murderers.

As MERA25, we express our unconditional support for Mohammed Khatib and demand that the Greek government release him and cease its vindictive treatment of him.

The huge mobilisations in recent times, culminating in the internationalist missions such as the March to Gaza and Global Sumud Flotilla, proved that the broad social sentiment of the Greek people stands with the Palestinian people, despite those who involve Greece in the war and genocide in Palestine.

Sanctions must be imposed and all cooperation with the murderous state of Israel must cease.

Freedom and solidarity with Palestine!
