Bisan Adwan Withdraws from Göteborg Fair
A report about Palestinian writer Bisan Adwan's withdrawal from the Gothenburg Book Fair in protest against hosting an Israeli military speaker. She considered that the presence of an Israeli military figure speaking in defense of the Israeli army's operations during the Gaza war normalizes military discourse and legitimizes violence against Palestinians. She requested clarification of the criteria for selecting speakers and the policies regarding participation. Additionally, the Palestinian Embassy in Sweden condemned the hosting of an Israeli military representative associated with abuses in Gaza, expressing concerns that cultural spaces might be exploited to justify and whitewash violations.
