Forwarded from 🇵🇸 Automated Apartheid in Palestine
🇵🇸Trump seeks the extradition of pro-Palestine activist and donor James ‘Fergie’ Chambers amid a widening crackdown on the U.S. left | Mondoweiss
On July 10, activist James “Fergie” Chambers was arrested in Ibiza, #Spain after the Trump administration requested his extradition.
Chambers, an heir to the #CoxCommunications family fortune, has used his vast inheritance to fund pro-Palestine organizations for years. The indictment accuses him of “international money laundering… with the intent to provide material support to and resources to foreign terrorist organizations.
#Fergie is being jailed because he uses his wealth to support Palestine and those suffering genocide in #Gaza,” wrote Chambers’ partner Stella Schnabel in a statement. “In short, he is facing political persecution for having dedicated his life to building a better society, rather than exploiting people and profiting from war. He should be with our family, continuing his important humanitarian and social advocacy work.
