The newly formed fan group BH Hooligans issued a new statement on their Instagram profile.
After the initial call for protests before the EuroLeague game between Dubai and Hapoel, a second statement followed in which they claim that their peaceful gathering was banned:
“After we issued a public call for peaceful protests regarding the game between the teams of GENOCIDAL STATES in Sarajevo, we inform the public that the gathering and protest against the game was immediately banned. We consider such a move unacceptable and an attempt to suppress freedom of speech and the peaceful expression of opinion by the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).
We tried, as we see happening all over the world, to prevent the holding of the game in solidarity with the residents of Gaza, who have experienced and continue to experience genocide over the years.
WE DO NOT WANT PEOPLE WHO COMMIT GENOCIDE TO PLAY THEIR GAMES IN OUR COUNTRY, WHICH SURVIVED GENOCIDE AND WAR NOT SO LONG AGO.
In the comments on many portals, fake claims have appeared that the BH HOOLIGANS fan group wants to cause unrest and create chaos in the country.
We particularly distance ourselves from such comments and inform the public that we will not appear or protest. We will not create any unrest or problems, as that is not our goal.
We do not seek conflict, but justice, dignity, and the voice of the people who do not accept injustice.
You cannot silence our voice.
PALESTINE WILL BE FREE AND THE ZIONIST REGIME DESTROYED.
BH HOOLIGANS
All for one, one for all!”
It should be mentioned that the formation of this new group has raised new tensions and public suspicions, N1 writes.
