Overview
- Hassan, who was detained in Paris on Thursday, was questioned on suspicion of “apologia of terrorism” and released with a summons to appear in court on July 7.
- The proceedings stem from a March 26 post on X that quoted Kōzō Okamoto, convicted in the 1972 Lod Airport killings, which RN lawmaker Matthias Renault reported to prosecutors before the post was deleted.
- The Paris prosecutor said 16 procedures by the national online‑hate unit have involved Hassan, with 13 since archived, and police questioned her again Friday over complaints from European and French Jewish groups and the Nemesis collective.
- Prosecutors said they found substances resembling CBD and a synthetic drug in her bag, a claim Hassan disputes as false, saying she carried only legal CBD and has submitted tests and purchase details.
- Leaders of The Left, including Manon Aubry and Manuel Bompard, call the case judicial harassment that breaches parliamentary immunity, while right‑leaning outlets emphasize her links to pro‑Palestinian activism, underscoring polarized coverage.
