In the midst of the Zionist-imperialist attack on Lebanon, join the international mobilization for the release of Georges Abdallah!

Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, the Lebanese communist and Palestinian resistance fighter, was arrested by French police in Lyon on October 24, 1984. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1987 for complicity in the execution of a Mossad agent and a CIA member – a trial riddled with irregularities. At the same time, Israel occupied Lebanon and massacred the Palestinian and Lebanese people during the attack and later the occupation of southern Lebanon.

Georges Abdallah, eligible for release under French law since 1999, remains in prison due to diplomatic pressure from the US and Israel, as well as France’s own imperialist interests in the region. Although his release was ordered by the French judiciary in 2013, he remained in prison due to a political decision by the Interior Ministry, which refused to agree to his deportation to his home country, Lebanon. Today he is one of the longest-held political prisoners in Europe and has submitted a new application for release examined by the sentencing court on October 7th.

As the genocide in Palestine continues for a year and Israel intensifies its attack on Lebanon, supporting Georges Abdallah means supporting the resistance of the Palestinian and Lebanese people for their right to live freely in their countries.

On the initiative of many organizations, campaigns and funding bodies As every year, a large mobilization is organized in front of the Lannemezan prison where he is being held to demand the release of Georges Abdallah. The Collectif Palestine Vaincra calls for widespread participation, in particular by joining these two initiatives:
