CODEPINK Palestine Organizer Wrongfully Arrested at the RNC

🚨 CODEPINK’s Palestine Organizer Nour has been wrongfully detained at the RNC after Rep. Derrick Van Orden shoved past her and accused her of “assault.“ While peacefully waiting in line to enter the event, Nour, a visibly Palestinian woman, was intentionally bumped into by this bald, white member of Congress while he tried to shove past her. Despite not reacting to this, Nour was falsely accused of “assault“ by a Texas State police officer on the scene and we are told she will be taken to a Milwaukee Police Department. No charges have been filed as of this release. Notably, two other CODEPINK staff members ahead of her in line passed through without any issues, raising concerns of racial profiling. It is a microcosm of the misogyny at the RNC that the more gentle non-violent woman, the only Palestinian in line with our group is assaulted and then even when she did not respond she was the one who was arrested. CODEPINK unequivocally states that no one from our organization assaulted anyone. We attended the RNC to deliver a message of peace and disarmament, adhering strictly to non-violent protest methods. --------- SUPPORT: SUBSCRIBE: SIGN UP FOR EMAIL UPDATES: ORGANIZE WITH US: Facebook: Instagram: Twitter: TikTok: @codepinkalert ABOUT CODEPINK CODEPINK is a feminist grassroots organization working to end U.S. warfare and imperialism and redirect our tax dollars into healthcare, education, green jobs and other life-affirming programs.
