THE Morning Star’s German sister paper Junge Welt has spoken out against the “grotesque and dangerous” intimidation of UN special rapporteur on Palestine Francesca Albanese when she spoke at its offices this week.
As reported in today’s Morning Star, Junge Welt allowed Ms Albanese to deliver a lecture on Israel’s violations of international law during its invasion of Gaza at its premises after the booked venue, Berlin’s Kuhlhaus, withdrew permission under pressure.
The UN official had had previous scheduled lectures cancelled by two German universities and has been denounced as an anti-semite for drawing attention to Israel’s war crimes.
