    Did you miss the part where he’s still allowed to withdraw enough funds from the account to pay for the essential bills? He’s not starving and he’s not homeless either. He qualifies for several German social programs that will keep him afloat. He has been sanctioned for nearly a year now, if he was starving he’d have done so by now.

    She was apparently hit with sanctions because he put a new car insurance in his own name on her account; that’s clearly circumventing sanctions and a pretty stupid thing to do, especially for a non-essential expenditure like that.

    You also keep harping on about the pro-Palestinian stance being an issue, but there’s tons of pro-Palestinian media in the EU, all unsanctioned. Even the state media routinely calls the Israeli crimes in Gaza a genocide, bringing in experts that explain why it should be considered one. It makes no sense that only this guy would get sanctioned for that, and not the thousands of others who report on it just the same. The public evidence just doesn’t support that claim.

    gleefully celebrate seeing their children starve

    Nobody is starving here. You’ve fallen for a narrative that isn’t true. I also don’t support these sanctions, but I also don’t believe this guy’s narrative here, which contains several distortions of the truth. Hence why I think that even a judge would not revoke the sanctions here and an appeal is likely to fail.
