The Arab Organization for Human Rights in the UK (AOHR UK) called for representatives from the European Union the High Commission for Human Rights and the British Embassy to send observers to follow the trial of Sheikh Raed Salah on September 24.
AOHR UK is calling for their urgent action to send representatives through their organizations or embassies to attend a hearing dictating the charges against Sheikh Raed Salah to be held on September 24 2017 the London-based organization’s statement reads.
It also called for standing against the arbitrary arrest of Salah and the fabricated accusations against him.
AOHR UK confirmed that Israeli prison authorities have not changed the poor conditions of Salah’s detention.
“Salah remains in a small cell with 24-hour surveillance cameras with an uncovered toilet in the same place where he eats sleeps and prays. The prison administration attributed these conditions to higher orders relayed to them.”
AOHR UK stressed the need for international representatives and human rights organizations to be present as well as civil movements to put pressure on the Israeli government and send a clear message that it cannot single out Salah and that it cannot behave such arbitrarily in his trial particularly that he has committed no crime.
He is being treated in this manner because he conducted campaigns to maintain al-Aqsa Mosque and to defend the Mosque in the face of the intrusions and excavations that are occurring and to protect it from all attempts of division the statement concluded.
