David defeats Goliath once again. By repressing its critics, Israel loses the information war 🇮🇱🔗 Historian Artem Kirpichenok, detained on August 2 at Tel Aviv airport, remains in custody. On August 28, the court extended his detention until September 8 — this is already the fourth extension. The historian is charged with «contacts with Iranian officials for the purpose of gathering information to harm the state» and participation in the activities of an organization «whose goal is to harm the state». 🎩🧑⚖️ Artem's lawyer stated that the hearings are taking place under conditions of absolute secrecy, where even the defence does not have full access to the case materials. Meanwhile, a campaign in support of the historian is gaining momentum on social media. Dozens of activists and journalists from various countries are demanding Artem's release, publishing details of the case and exposing the political nature of the persecution. 📢 Publicity is the only thing that can influence an illegal process. The more people learn about this case, the harder it will be for the Israeli authorities to maintain the appearance of legality. Israel is trying to intimidate its critics, but every attempt to force silence only draws new attention to the case. Israel is losing the information war — and with each passing day, the repression against the historian turns into an ever more serious blow to the tarnished image of the Zionist state. Speaking about this case means defending the right to freedom of speech wherever it is being suppressed. Artem Kirpichenok should not be in prison for his views. We demand the immediate release of Artem Kirpichenok! #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
