ANNOUNCEMENT: Berlin Higher Administrative Court invites to hearing for BT3P's lawsuit against the German Bundestag on June 16, 2023

In May 2020, the Palestinian-Jewish-German initiative Bundestag 3 for Palestine (BT3P) filed a lawsuit against the German Bundestag's anti-BDS resolution of May 17, 2019 before the Berlin Administrative Court (Case No. VG 2 K 79/20). The legal goal of BT3P is to achieve the nullity of the anti-BDS resolution.

The BT3P support the BDS campaign and claim that the German Bundestag resolution suppresses advocacy for Palestinian human rights by excluding them from public institutions and defaming them as "antisemitic." The initiative considers the resolution a violation of its basic democratic rights (Article 1(1) of the Basic Law, Article 5(1) of the Basic Law, Article 8(1) of the Basic Law, and Article 9(1) of the Basic Law). In addition, the decision undermines international law and is anti-Palestinian.

After the Berlin Administrative Court dismissed the case, BT3P filed an appeal before the Berlin-Brandenburg Higher Administrative Court. The court has now summoned to a hearing on June 16, 2023 at 11 am. The hearing will take place in the office building of the Berlin Higher Administrative Court at Hardenbergstrasse 31 in Berlin.

BT3P invite all interested parties to a rally in front of the building of the Berlin Higher Administrative Court at Hardenbergstrasse 31 in Berlin at 10 am.

A press conference will take place in or outside the court house after the court hearing.

If you have any questions, the BT3P team can be reached by e-mail (team@bt3p.org).

In order to make the lawsuit a legal and political success, the BT3P require your financial support. You can find their appeal for donations HERE.
