Human rights violations are described as becoming increasingly gross and more seriousĀ in jerusal
By Maisa Abu Ghazaleh – Palestine News Network
The city’s Center for Democracy and Human Rights, along with the monitoring group the National Coalition for the Defense of Palestinian Rights in Jerusalem, were part of a report issued under the name the Alahli Coalition regarding Israeli violations during the month of July.
The findings were not encouraging, with the Israeli authorities continuing to “commit more serious and gross violations of human rights which is inconsistent with the provisions of international law and the rules of international humanitarian law.”
The report, issued yesterday afternoon, is divided into chapters in which the first addresses the issues of home demolitions and attempts to seize property and evacuate homes, demolition, bulldozing, confiscation and settlements.
Chapter II addresses the issues of barriers, blockades, closures and raids, arrests and arbitrary detention, and abuse of the right to live. The report indicated that seven houses were demolished while 60 more notices were distributed.
