JAKARTA - The ban to suspension that befell French lawmaker Sebastien Delugu, as a result of raising the Palestinian flag during the trial did not deter other French politicians in voicing humanity in Gaza. Citing media Lemonde.fr, a number of French lawmakers from the left-wing representative were loudly against the ban on the decision of the French National Assembly. They each wore green, white, red and black clothes and then arranged their seats to look like the Palestinian flag from a distance of sight. One of Rachel Keke's lawmakers then stretched something out of her bag. Before long, the Palestinian flag was dispersed and raised. The action took place at a French parliamentary session on Tuesday, June 4 local time.

Earlier, Sebastien Delogu, who is also a left-wing lawmaker from the La France Insoumise Party (LFI), was suspended for 15 days for raising the Palestinian flag in a parliamentary session last week. As a result of Delogu's action, the trial was suspended for about an hour. Delogu raised the flag in support of Palestine when asking the government questions about the situation in the Gaza Strip. "I waved the Palestinian flag at the National Assembly," he told reporters. "Because when I voiced, France sold weapons, sold spare parts to supply Israeli soldiers. There was genocide going on there," said Delugu.
