## MEP Scuderi on police repression
Italian Green MEP Benedetta Scuderi was detained near a far-right protest calling for re-migration in July.

> i hear meps say muslims are a threat with no consequences i say free palestine and ill be arrested
## Double standard in EU parliament
In the European Parliament, people can discriminate and use hate speech but are labeled terrorists for holding a Palestinian flag.

> i hear my colleagues saying that muslims are a threat and there are no consequences
## Targeted repression of activists
Far-right protests in Italy are ignored by police while Palestinian activists face violent crackdowns.

> we have 20 people doing a sit in for palestine in front of the parliament and getting their heads smashed
## Key takeaway

Italian Green MEP Benedetta Scuderi warns that far-right groups are normalizing police repression of Palestinian activists in Europe.
