Ciné-rencontre "L'affaire Abdallah" avec l'UFJP
Dates
On 19 May 2026
In 11 days
1h41 | Documentary by Pierre Carles
Lebanese activist Georges Abdallah was incarcerated for almost 41 years in France. This pro-Palestinian communist resistance fighter was branded a "terrorist". Wrongly so. Incredible fake news and strong pressure exerted by the United States on France were behind this extraordinary length of detention. At 74, he managed to emerge from prison on his feet, his political convictions intact.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with André Rosevêgue of the UJFP (French Jewish Union for Peace).
