Dozens arrested as German police disperse pro-Palestine demonstration on Nakba Day
Police have forcibly dispersed a pro-Palestine demonstration commemorating Nakba Day in Germany’s capital, Berlin. Videos posted by activists on Instagram, and verified by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking unit, show police forcibly removing protesters.
German media outlets quoted a spokesperson for Berlin Police saying that its officers arrested more than 50 people, while 10 officers were injured.
Germany has been accused of silencing pro-Palestinian voices, having ordered the deportations of three European nationals and a United States citizen over their alleged actions at demonstrations.
Film on Gaza photographer receives standing ovation in Cannes
The screening of a documentary about the life of Palestinian journalist Fatima Hassouna, who was killed by an Israeli air strike last month, has received a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival.
Director Sepideh Farsi said Hassouna had been “glowing with joy” when she learned that the film Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk had made the cut. She was killed a day after the film was selected.
“She is not here, but yet she is present. They didn’t manage to defeat her,” Farsi said. “Those who wanted to look away perhaps will now be confronted with her simplicity, her force, and she’s gone now, and they know it.”
Farsi added that she received a report this week from the London-based Forensic Architecture research group that had found Hassouna had been a target of an Israeli strike last month. “It’s hard to believe, it’s like science fiction,” she said.
