I have the EU's full evidence dossier compiled by the @eu_eeas that was used to sanction me.
Not one word about Russia ties.

I literally have the proof that you are lying.

You have it too.
I'm not allowed to publish the document.
But you can.

What are you hiding?

Or are you creating new 'evidence' for damage control?

It took the German Foreign Office 1.5 months to make a statement on the EU sanctions against me. Poor attempt to change the narrative while criticism against Germany & EU is growing.

And—what a coincidence—they made their statement exactly one day after we filed our appeal.

Suprise. Suprise.
Not a single mainstream journalist in Germany has contacted me since I was sanctioned. Despite the large number of journalists at the government press conference, not one of them challenged the government using the information I've been sharing on social media for weeks. Only @FWarweg asked the glaring questions.
Why didn't any of the journalists in the room ask this question: Hüseyin Dogru is ONLY a German citizen, so why is the EU insisting he is Turkish?

As a German they couldn't sanction me like this.

If I was white, those journalists wouldn't be so nonchalant. They've fought harder for right-wing press before.Image

Only one journalist—Warweg—has asked critical questions about my case. The rest stay silent when truth hurts the government. All of them - young, naive and old ones- this silence lays the groundwork for censorship. Remember 1933’s "Schriftleitergesetz"—the parallels are here. Image
Meanwhile, Germany’s media foot soldiers — @tazgezwitscher , @Tagesspiegel & co.—sat silent for a month. Not a single article.
Now, after the Foreign Office speaks, they suddenly show up to parrot the state’s narrative.

You are the state-controlled media you claim to oppose. Image
Image
Without scrutiny, the EU and Germany are laying the groundwork for a censorship regime which will erase dissent before anyone notices.

Watch and listen to @ClareDalyIRL explain how the EU is creating a censorship mechanism tested on me—and how this will soon affect all journalists.

It’s been almost 10 month since I was sanctioned for my pro-Palestine journalism & Reporters Without Borders Germany @ReporterOG hasn't replied to my email despite the obvious threat these sanctions pose to free speech in Europe.

Worse still, in its 2025 report the liberal NGO became an accomplice in the smear campaign against me, repeating the lie that my outlet red. ran a “defamation campaign” against a genocide-washing TAZ reporter.
If RSF cared about facts, it would've easily established that reporter initiated the campaign that led to my sanctioning, and that we merely defended ourselves using facts about his ties to Israel, taken exclusively from his own website.

The banana empire "Chiquita" massacred up to 2000 striking Colombian banana pickers on this day in 1928. But the bloodbath is just one chapter in Chiquita's long, bloodstained history. 🧵 Image
Over 25,000 plantation workers went on strike in 1928 against exploitation, including wages less than 100 Colombian pesos ($0.025). Back then, Chiquita was named "United Fruit Company." Image
The strike lasted over two months before the United Fruit Company asked the Colombian military to besiege banana plantations in the Ciénaga municipality. Image

URGENT: The @EUCouncil rejected my lawyers' application to "reconsider" the sanctions imposed on me.

The evidence is shocking and dangerous, which forces me now to publish the entire evidence used to sanction me.

The EU forbids me from publishing their evidence dossier.🧵

To recap: I was sanctioned for pro-Palestine reporting, including documenting the repression of activists in Germany + the EU. The @EUCouncil labeled this as "undermining" & "threatening" EU stability, and used this to falsely frame my work within Russian disinformation efforts.
The @EUCouncil accuses me also of "spreading false information" through my "own social media account."

Let's look at what the EU brands "false information" to maintain sanctions which have been imposed on me extra-judicially: i.e. by politicians NOT by judges or a court. Image

Did you know Palestinian liberation groups had to once defend themselves against a 50-day siege by Lebanese fascists in their refugee camp in Tel Al-Zaatar?

The horrific massacre that followed ended on this day 49 years ago. 🧵 Image
In early January of 1976, as part of their wider campaign to expel Palestinians during the Lebanese Civil War, the Christian Phalangist militia started a siege of the heavily fortified Palestinian Tel al-Zaatar refugee camp east of Beirut. 300 soldiers from the army backed them.
As other camps had been falling into the hands of the Phalangists, the residents, and factions inside Tel al-Zaatar worked on building a defensive perimeter to prepare for the inevitable assault. Other residents fled the camp. Image

🧵THREAD: What's happening in Syria & how it's part of the West's redesign of the entire Middle East.

A new Syrian civil war is breaking out. This time, it's not fueled by a proxy war between the US & Russia- the US is now backing all sides.

These are the main actors... Image
- Syria's self-appointed transitional govt led by Jolani/al-Sharaa: backed by U🇺🇸🇹🇷🇸🇦🇶🇦

- 🇮🇱under the pretext of "protecting" the Druze. 🇮🇱 ALWAYS moves with 🇺🇸 approval, so 🇺🇸 is de-facto also on this side.

- Could long-time 🇺🇸 allies, the Kurds, enter the fray?
Until now, the US has "allowed" al-Sharaa's sectarian pogroms against Alawites & Christians, even rewarding him by lifting sanctions and removing his terrorist designation.

Now that Russia is out of Syria, minorities are desperately looking for a new powerful ally to help them.

URGENT: After 1 month of EU sanctions, our health insurance says payments have stopped. My wife is 7 months pregnant with twins. I am not allowed to pay for the insurance and i’m still banned from working. They’re risking our unborn children’s lives.
My pregnant wife's accounts remain still frozen—though she’s not sanctioned. The bank won’t reply.

I was granted ca. €500/month by the German Bundesbank—in a city where rent is €1,500–€1,700. I still have no access to even that.
To this day, no German mainstream outlet has shown interest in my story. They refuse to cover this extrajudicial punishment.

German trade union & Reporters Without Borders Germany ignore my emails. Seems they’re fine with journalism being sanctioned.
