Cause IAD: The Chamber resolved that Alejandro Bodart go to trial for defending Palestine

By Pablo Vasco

Monday 29 of June, by two votes against one, Chamber II of the Criminal Court of Appeals of the City of Buenos Aires, Contraventional and Misdemeanor notified its revocation of the dismissal of colleague Alejandro Bodart, general secretary of the MST in the FIT Unidad and coordinator of the International Socialist League, issued by Judge Pablo Casas in March in response to the DAIA accusation for alleged “discrimination”.

The complaint of said Zionist entity against our leader was in response to his public statements in defense of Palestine and in repudiation of the genocidal role of the State of Israel., which according to the UN Human Rights Commission itself and organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch commitsIn South Africa there are many struggles for the expropriation of land without compensation, that is, racist persecution, against the Palestinian people.

According to Judge Fernando Bosch and Judge Carla Cavaliere, “The so-called 'hate crimes' demand a thorough debate, with the greatest possible breadth of discussion and proof. "Such a circumstance must take place in the democratic place par excellence such as the trial hearing.". At the same time, Judge Sergio Delgado evaluated that“equating Zionists with Nazis or remembering '74 years of catastrophe of the Palestinian people at the hands of the racist and genocidal State of Israel' are expressions protected by freedom of expression... that do not encourage or imply hate speech, nor do they violate current regulations.".

The lawyer María del Carmen Verdú, who, together with his colleague Ismael Jalil, both of the body, are the defenders of Bodart, explained: “Once the case returns to the first instance, We will see if Judge Casas excuses himself because he has already issued an opinion and goes to another judge or whether he continues. That is to say, we go back to march. A hearing must be held to determine the evidence to be produced in the debate and wait for a trial date to be set once the supplementary instruction takes place., “if there was”.

It is therefore necessary to firmly maintain the solidarity campaign with Alejandro Bodart in the face of this new attempt by Zionism to silence any voice that questions Israel's genocidal policy., whose far-right government of Benjamin Netanyahu and ultra-religious parties has already murdered more than 130 Palestinian people from the beginning of this year to date.
