How Austria criminalises 'From the River to the Sea' and 'Intifada'
9 min readSince October 7, the Austrian authorities have been cracking down on the Palestine solidarity movement in the country. In their repertoire of repressive measures is the criminalisation of the slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and the term “Intifada”. Mobilisations were prohibited, and manifestations were stopped for using either of these. Several activists received fines, and some were even arrested. Dieter Reinisch reports from Vienna.
Since May, the police have informed the organisers and participants of each manifestation that the use of “From the river to the sea…” and “Intifada” is forbidden. (Al Mayadeen English; Illustrated by Zeinab El-Hajj)
