Rima Hassan, a French far-left member of the European Parliament, will face trial in July over a comment she posted on X last month regarding a 1970s attack at an Israeli airport, the Paris prosecutor's office said late Thursday. Authorities arrested Hassan and held her in custody for several hours on Thursday, suspecting that the post made on March 26 and later deleted could be interpreted as supporting terrorism. "At the end of her custody, Rima Hassan was summoned to appear before the criminal court on July 7, 2026, to be tried on charges of condoning terrorism committed online," the office said in an emailed statement. Hassan's message referred to the 1972 attack by the far-left militant group Japanese Red Army at Lod Airport in Tel Aviv, which resulted in 26 deaths. In the post, Hassan had quoted on her X account a comment made by an individual convicted for the attack and sought to justify it by mentioning what he called the oppression of people in Palestinian territories. The criminal offense of "condoning terrorism" online is punishable by up to seven years in prison and a fine of up to 100,000 euros.
