Frankfurt: pro-Palestinian demo on the anniversary of the Hamas attack prohibited!

In a current decision, the city of Frankfurt banned a pro-Palestinian demonstration planned for October 7, which was registered under the motto "For a free Palestine-victory belongs to justice". This ban also extends to all other potential outdoor meetings on this day if there is a direct risk to public security and order.

Mahner in this matter are Mayor Mike Josef (SPD) and head of the head of the head of Annette Rinn (FDP), who emphasize that the right to demonstrate is very important. Nevertheless, the city must take measures if there is fear that there will be criminal offenses or violent statements during the meeting. They argue that historical and current events make such a caution necessary, especially in the context of the reminder because on October 7th the greatest mass murder of Jews has taken place since the Schoah.

reactions and legal steps

The ban on the demonstration has already led to violent reactions on social media. The organizers of the demo show on Instagram that the assembly authority makes misleading claims to justify the ban. Above all, they see a danger of the simultaneous pro-Israeli event at the Alte Oper.

The discussion about the ban on demonstration not only raises legal questions, but also illuminates deeper social tensions that currently exist in connection with the Israel Palestine conflict. It remains to be seen whether the city's decision has legally existed and what response it could cause in the population, especially in view of the emotional and political explosiveness of the topic.
