The civil and political organizations that organize the Week Against Israeli Colonization in Salvador strongly condemn the attempt by the Bahia Law School and the OAB/BA (Brazilian Bar Association of the State of Bahia) to suppress the “Palestinian Women’s Cultural and Political Gathering” scheduled for TODAY at 6:00 p.m.
In clear betrayal of their supposed progressive principles, the School and the OAB/BA (Brazilian Bar Association of the State of Bahia) suddenly informed the organizers, one day before the event, without justification and without even mentioning the source of the order, that the event could no longer be held in the auditorium of the ESA (Higher School of Advocacy) building.
This is an attempt to prevent Palestinian voices from occupying the space, in particular that of activist Rawa Alsagheer, who will speak at the event, and by extension the Samidoun Network, of which she is the coordinator.
This cowardly attitude comes after a vigorous week of workshops, conferences, and film debates that mobilized Bahian society in support of Palestinian rights, both in occupied Palestine and among refugees and the diaspora.
WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN!
Let’s all mobilize in front of ESA (Higher School of Advocacy) today—Friday, August 29, 2025, at 6:00 p.m.—to demand that the Cultural and Political Gathering take place!
Centro Cultural João Mangabeira, ao lado do Fórum Ruy Barbosa — Rua do Carro, Largo do Campo da Pólvora, Nazaré, Salvador
