Urgent press conference

MEDIA ALERT:

URGENT PRESS CONFERENCE

In an unprecedented move, South African based NGO’s will announce a groundbreaking application to the National Prosecuting Authority and Directorate for Priority Crimes Investigation for prosecution in South Africa of individuals responsible for War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity committed in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead.

Included in the 3500-page supporting evidence are complaints that the crimes have been committed within the wider context of Israel’s continuing policies of colonialism and apartheid.
