“Israel rolls out the head of the människorättsgrupp”
“the Human Rights organization Human Rights Watch (HRW) country manager Omar Shakir must leave Israel, according to a court.”
“the Decision is based on allegations that Shakir has called for a boycott of the country.”
“Omar Shakir must leave Israel no later than the 1 may, then the district court in Jerusalem have chosen not to tear up the state department’s decision to revoke his work visa. Shakir thrown out since he was accused of supporting a boycott against Israel. The court stresses that Shakir may appeal the decision to the Supreme court.”
“Israel appointed a law 2017 that prohibits the entry of foreign nationals who support a boycott.”
“the HRW claims, however, that neither the organisation or Shakir has called for a boycott, and that it is a dangerous interpretation of the law because it equates criticism of the companies operating in the occupied west bank by calling for a boycott.”
