PARIS, April 3 (Reuters) - Rima Hassan, a French far-left member of the European Parliament, will face trial in July over a comment she posted on X last month about a 1970s attack on an Israeli airport, the Paris prosecutor's office said late on Thursday. Authorities arrested Hassan and detained her in custody for several hours on Thursday because they suspected the post made on March 26 and later erased could be construed as showing support for terrorism.
