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.

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. 🧵 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."

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.🧵

The @EUCouncil labeled this as "undermining" & "threatening" EU stability, and used this to falsely frame my work within Russian disinformation efforts.

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. 🧵 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.

🧵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... - 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?

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?

@yanisvaroufakis @ClareDalyIRL @DiEM_25 @jeremyscahill @DropSiteNews @ggreenwald @theintercept @amnesty_de @amnesty @aforgutu @wikileaks @DefendAssange @JulianAssange_ 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.

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.

It's important not to seek psychoanalytic explanations for Germany's increasingly bombastic behaviour on the international stage.

The reason simple: the only way Germany's capitalist class can save itself from a deep economic crisis of its own making, is through WAR. 🧵 Many are shocked Germany is wantonly tearing up its image as the "good guy" in the West when it comes to human rights & int. law. Firstly, this reputation, earned during the 2015 refugee crisis, mostly prevails amongst the far-right & western liberals (funny how often they align)

A lot of people are asking me what being sanctioned actually means in practice.

Let me try to explain it to you. I haven’t been charged with anything.
I haven’t stood trial.
I haven’t been found guilty of any crime.
I had no chance to defend my self.

But the EU sanctioned me for my pro-Palestine journalism
and stripped me of all my rights.
