Journalists Syndicate to sue Israel at ICC

Thursday 17-May-2018

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) Thursday declared intention to file a legal case against Israel at the International Criminal Court (ICC) and other European courts.

The syndicate decided to form a committee in charge of preparing and collecting documents that prove Israeli crimes committed against Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

The killing of two journalists and the injury of 90 others in Gaza will be on the top files to be submitted by the committee the syndicate added.

The International Journalists Federation (IFJ) declared its total support to the Palestinian syndicate’s decision to expose the violations and crimes committed against Palestinian journalists.

In 2018 Israeli armed forces killed journalists Yasser Murtaja and Ahmad Abu Hussein while covering the protests in the Gaza Strip and wounded 90 others since the beginning of this year.
