Fergie Chambers tells Spanish court Gaza is ‘moral question of our time’

Fergie Chambers told Spain’s Audiencia Nacional that Gaza was “the prevailing moral question of our time” as he defended himself against a US request for extradition. The American activist says he funded humanitarian relief and took part in non-violent protests; US prosecutors allege he intended to provide material support to Hamas.

The indictment accuses Chambers of international money laundering, riot and conspiracy to riot, alleging he transferred about $7.5 million out of the US after leaving in 2023. Chambers says the money went to lawful causes, including Palestinian aid, local businesses and Tunisian football club Club Africain. His defence disputes the US account and says evidence linking his wealth to terrorism has not been provided; the Spanish court is expected to decide next week, with the government also involved in the extradition process.
