The administration of the University of Strasbourg has canceled a lecture by Rima Hassan titled “The Palestinian Question within the European Union,” scheduled for February 13, 2025, citing insufficient security measures.
This decision comes after an initial ban a few months earlier, which was ruled illegal by the administrative court for violating freedom of expression—a decision the university has appealed to the Council of State.
