The case

01

What happened

The 4th Federal Criminal Court sentenced Zé Maria for "racism" after a speech against the genocide in Gaza and Israel's colonialist regime over occupied Palestine.

02

Why it matters

The ruling, with no legal basis, sets a precedent for Bill 1424/26, which aims to criminalize criticism of Israel and restrict freedom of expression.

03

What is at stake

Today they persecute those who criticize Israel. Tomorrow it could be any union organizer, journalist, or worker who criticizes the government, the regime, and the system.

Free Palestine, from the river to the sea.

PSTU will not retreat one inch from denouncing the State of Israel and the successive crimes against humanity committed before the eyes of the world.

"We will continue our struggle in defense of the Palestinian people, against genocide and for the end of the Zionist, racist and colonial State of Israel, for a secular, democratic and non-racist Palestine, where Jews, Arabs and all peoples may live together in peace."
