(Jerusalem Post) A leader in an NGO affiliated with a Palestinian terrorist group may have his refuge[e] status in Belgium revoked over his extremist activism, the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network said in a statement on Tuesday.
Samidoun Europe coordinator Mohammed Khatib was called to a hearing before a Belgian asylum office for his connection to the Samidoun, the Masar Badil Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, and radical statements made at pro-Palestinian rallies.
“We note that this is not only an attempt to target Mohammed as an individual and Samidoun as an organization,” Samidoun said. “It aims specifically to silence the movement to liberate Palestinian prisoners and to uphold the legitimacy and justice of the Palestinian resistance, especially the armed resistance, as part of the international, Arab, and Palestinian global intifada.”
