The Palestinians in Europe Conference Foundation strongly condemned the smear campaign launched by some Swedish papers against the 20th session of the conference, which was held in Malmö last Saturday with more than 20,000 pro-Palestine supporters in attendance.
The Foundation stressed that the rumors and lies being circulated about the conference and its president, which had linked him to some banned movements, came as part of the Israeli government’s propaganda machine to suppress any popular European efforts to demand Israel to abide by the UN resolutions, mainly the UN 194 Resolution related to the Palestinian right of return.
“The smear campaign launched against some Swedish politicians who attended the conference is a clear Israeli attempt to influence Swedish political decisions and spread fear among the pro-Palestine supporters in Sweden,” the Foundation added.
It further underlined that no violations were reported during the 20th edition of the conference.
