Bar Association Announces Work Suspension Tomorrow Wednesday and General Strike

SadaNews - The Bar Association announced the suspension of work tomorrow, Wednesday, and a general strike as a message of rejection and to shed light on the Israeli Knesset's decision regarding the approval of the execution of Palestinian prisoners, which was approved by the Knesset yesterday.

The Secretary of the Bar Association, attorney Amjad Shalleh, stated in a call with SadaNews Agency that the Bar Association has begun sending a number of international messages to various relevant international bodies, primarily the United Nations, the Human Rights Council, and several international institutions and organizations.

Shalleh added that the association will not stop at these steps, but will collaborate with all Palestinian forces, activities, and institutions to confront this dangerous Israeli decision, which contradicts all international, legal, and humanitarian values and standards. He emphasized that Israel and its parliament, known as the Knesset, along with its government and security apparatuses, have proven once again that they are akin to a mafia or a gang of serial killers masquerading as a state. It is not new for the Israeli occupation to kill children, women, and those involved in genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, and to engage in policies of killing and actual executions of prisoners in jails, especially in the Sidreh Yateman detention center.
And that Israel is practicing the most heinous forms of murder against the Palestinian people, including prisoners, almost daily at this time.

Attorney Shalleh directed a message to the International Red Cross to assume its legal and ethical responsibilities and to fulfill its role as stipulated in its constitution and founding charter, and its duty to protect prisoners from oppression, torture, and killing.

Finally, attorney Shalleh emphasized the importance of popular and mass mobilization to confront this decision and to overturn it and compel the occupation to prevent its implementation.
