Prominent British Palestinian Surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sittah Barred from France
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The acclaimed British Palestinian surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sittah was denied
entry to France on Saturday despite an invitation to speak to members of
the French Senate about his time volunteering with Doctors Without
Borders in Gaza. This comes weeks after Germany barred Abu-Sittah from
attending a Palestinian conference in Berlin. Germany has reportedly
placed a one-year ban on Abu-Sittah from entering any country in
Europe's border-free zone.
