COP28 Activists Say Palestine Solidarity Protests Calling for Ceasefire Face Severe Restrictions

At COP28 in Dubai, protests in solidarity with Palestine have faced severe restrictions. Asad Rehman, the lead spokesperson for the Climate Justice Coalition, joined with human rights groups at an unofficial media briefing to explain how climate summit officials have threatened to debadge participants for even wearing Palestinian colors or sporting visual depictions calling for a ceasefire. This is probably the most restrictive we've seen," Rehman said. Everything we have tried to do has been within the U.N. rules, ... but the rules are being changed on a day-by-day basis."
