The human rights organization Al-Haq announced that Israeli authorities have imposed a travel ban on its Director-General, Sha'wan Jabarin, preventing him from leaving Palestine. Al-Haq described the decision as arbitrary and politically motivated, aimed at punishing Jabarin for his human rights advocacy.
In a statement titled "Call for Immediate Action," Al-Haq asserted that the restrictions on Jabarin deliberately target the human rights work he conducts on behalf of the organization, which is a prominent human rights institution. The group also stated that the ban targets the entire Palestinian human rights movement, especially in light of the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.
Al-Haq urged the international community, its allies, and partners worldwide to take immediate, specific, and effective measures to protect the organization and its Director-General. The organization called for international pressure on Israel to revoke the travel ban.
Furthermore, Al-Haq appealed to the international community to take tangible steps, including countermeasures and economic sanctions, in response to what it termed the systematic dismantling of Palestinian civil society and the attacks targeting human rights defenders, who are facing existential threats.
