Authorities in Berlin say they have banned a Palestinian activist from taking part in a political rally in the German capital.
State officials said Wednesday that Rasmea Odeh is forbidden from participating in the planned event by a group called the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.
Odeh was convicted in 1970 of two bombings in Jerusalem, including one that killed two men at a supermarket. Odeh claimed she was tortured into confessing by the Israeli military. She was deported from the U.S. to Jordan in 2017 for having lied about her conviction.
Odeh was sentenced to life in prison in Israel but released in 1979 as part of a prisoner swap with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Berlin authorities say the ban lasts until Odeh leaves Germany. A visa allowing her to travel freely in Europe's 26-nation Schengen area has already been canceled.
