We don't know if this is collective punishment, you've assumed so but we have no proof of that.
I don't mind protecting people's privacy and publicizing what crimes someone has been accused of, since just the accusation can have serious consequences. Imagine someone is accused of terrorism, this gets out to all the neighbours, and finally the judge clears their name; will those neighbours still trust them?
The people whose accounts are concerned will receive the reason why the accounts were blocked. They too haven't publicized it.
Edit: op mended with the journalists account of what happened. This is really scary. https://x.com/hussedogru/status/2038203613567144354
Do you think they'll just come out and say that? Her husband is a pro-palestine journalist and she gets her bank accounts frozen because of it what else would you call it?
She is already facing the sentencing though. The punishment is already doled out, without a trial.
There is no formal charge, there is no trial, the EU can just sanction you apparently and you have to fight them while under sanction.
I was wondering how you could still be defending imperialist narratives and then checked your modlog, you believe in the collective punishment of people through sanctions, you're not human
Sanctions kill over half a million people worldwide every year, from preventable deaths. I'll never agree with that. And with Israel you just need to stop sending them military supplies and other forms of support and they'll fall apart overnight. There's no need to prevent them from buying fucking medicine and food.
