Arundhati Roy has withdrawn from the Berlin Film Festival in protest against the remarks made by jury members regarding the Gaza situation.

Arundhati Roy, the acclaimed Indian author, has announced her withdrawal from the Berlin Film Festival where she was scheduled to attend as the screenwriter of the classic film "In which Annie gives it those ones" (1989).
