BREAKING: German court hears appeal against Kuwait Airways’ “racist policy”, verdict expected on September 25 | Mailchi
Brooke Goldstein, Executive Director of The Lawfare Project: “Justice hangs in the balance: if the German court again finds in favor of Kuwait Airways, it will be providing cover for the racial purity laws of a foreign dictatorship.”
The High Court of Hesse has today heard an appeal against a previous Frankfurt court ruling regarding Kuwait Airways’ discriminatory policy of banning Israeli passengers from flying on the airline. The case was brought by an Israeli student, represented by The Lawfare Project and its German counsel Nathan Gelbart, after he booked a flight from Frankfurt to Bangkok in 2016 but was not allowed to take his seat because of a Kuwaiti law that bans all citizens and companies from doing business with citizens of the Jewish state.
