Sign for the acquittal of Alejandro Bodart
Adressed to the Fourth Chamber of the Court of Appeals of the City of Buenos Aires.
Judge Luisa M. Escrich, Judge Gonzalo E. D. Viña, and Judge Javier A. Buján
The undersigned, as representatives or members of human rights organizations and social, labor, and political organizations of a very wide diversity, or in a personal and independent capacity, agree to address you in order to request the immediate acquittal of Alejandro Bodart in Case No. 127087/2022-3 that is being processed in your court.
While in the last 15 months the State of Israel has already committed more than 50,000 murders in Palestine and Lebanon – mostly women and children- sentencing Bodart for three tweets in solidarity with the Palestinian cause violates the human, democratic, and constitutional right to freedom of expression and is in fact functional to the impunity of such crimes. Reporting a genocide is not a crime.
