- US administration announced measures on Thursday against the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights in Gaza and Al-Haq
RAMALLAH: The Palestinian Ministry of Justice on Saturday denounced the US for imposing sanctions on three leading Palestinian human rights organizations, the Wafa news agency reported.
The US administration announced measures on Thursday against the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights in Gaza and Al-Haq, prompting what the ministry described as “a dangerous and unacceptable targeting” of Palestinian civil society.
It said in a statement that the groups documented violations committed by the Israeli occupation against Palestinians, their land and holy sites, and operated in line with international law and humanitarian standards.
The ministry voiced full support for the sanctioned organizations and urged Washington to reverse its decision.
It also called on the international community and UN bodies to intervene “to protect the Palestinian people and their institutions.”
