The Arab Organization for Human Rights in the UK (AOHR) urged on Wednesday the Counter Terrorism Command (CTC) also called SO15 to arrest Israel’s former PM Ehud Barak in London.
AOHR said Barak was spotted on Tuesday evening in London streets with his wife and a bodyguard. However the local police made no efforts to nab him despite the man’s incontestable involvement in war crimes against the Palestinians and in the notorious attack on the Mavi Marmara aid-ship.
“London has become a safe resort for war criminals” AOHR said slamming the British authorities for dragging their feet over ongoing calls to issue arrest warrants against Israeli leaders charged with war crimes.
It added that Britain is amongst the world’s states which have adopted an overriding priority to disrupt terrorist-related activity and impeach war criminals regardless of their nationality and origin.
“When it comes to Israelis indicted for UN-documented war crimes such laws become shallow. The suspect is either granted diplomatic immunity on claims that he/she is on an official visit; or else the suspect goes invisible in case he/she shows up again despite the decisive proof police have access to” AOHR’s Arabic statement further read.
