The city of Nuremberg in Germany has taken a censorship measure against an event organized by Mehring Verlag at the 30th Left-wing Literature Fair.
The event aimed to present two recent books by David North and discuss a socialist perspective on the genocide in Gaza and the danger of a third world war.
The authorities claim that criticism of militarism and war is “illegal.”
Thirty hours before the fair opened, the city of Nuremberg sent an email to the organizing team demanding that the text announcing the event be revised immediately, threatening to exclude the event from the program if not complied with.
This censorship measure is one of many attacks on fundamental democratic rights, including banned congresses, closed cultural centers, and persecuted artists and scientists speaking out against the genocide in Gaza.
