BDS riot

Roger Cukierman, President of CRIF reacted.

The President of CRIF wrote on February 16, 2016, to the Prefect of Police and to the Interior Minister, to protest against the authorization given to pro-Palestinian demonstrations, following the vote by the City of Paris of a vow prohibiting BDS actions.

The Prefect said that the authorization given to the Communist Party and the Palestinian National Committee came with a warning not to call for boycott.

In a telephone interview, following the demonstration of February 20, Place d'Italie, the Prefect of Police confirmed to the President of CRIF that if any leaflets, banners or calls for boycotts took place, it would have consequences.
